DDR is all over the place. There has been a slow start for DDR DIMMS, but that will be corrected soon. More promises. Those are a dime a dozen and have been coming for years. DDR in systems was launched 3 months ago and it's been a failure so far. Most DDR applications do not use DIMMS, and the technology is quite mature. Sounds like you're saying it's a niche technology. Don't fool yourself. I'm simply looking at the DDR launch in systems to date. It's been a joke. Give me some evidence otherwise, or you're the one fooling himself. Where're the systems? Show me an IBM web system, or a Gateway system, or Dell or HP system. After three months, virtually all of these vendors had RDRAM systems. If you think the momentum for RDRAM was slow, the momentum for DDR, after 3 months, is non-existent.

Don't fool yourself. p.s. I managed a software product in the mid-80's. On the day the code was supposed to be release, the engineering project manager came to me and told me that the software was going to be a couple of days late. Two days later, he told me it would be the end of the week. At the end of the week, it was going to be Monday. Six months later, we were still about 2 days away from having final code. He was finally fired another month or two after that. You can only make promises for so long before people stop believing you. You remind me of him. Three months after the "DDR Launch", it's a failure. The Gang of DDR still has a chance to turn it around, but it's going to take even more work now.
