Dave, Why isn't anyone building DDR systems? There are hundreds of companies building DDR systems. I'm building DDR systems. I'm using DDR systems. Almost every new computer with a discrete graphics card has DDR in it. Why are you spreading misinformation? Scumbria

Dave, re: Gene, you're a big fan of DDR. I'm actually a big fan of SDRAM at this point. I thought my posts indicated that. <g> Has there been a "successful" launch of the DDR technology as main memory in systems so far? From the standpoint of start-up issues, I see similarities to the i820 launch. Is it successful? There are many way's to define that, but I think the technology requires support by some major box makers to qualify. Also, if/when Brookdale supports DDR I think it will be very successful. Is there any evidence that there's any serious support for DDR in computing systems? I'm sure that Micron Technology, NEC and Carri Systems are serious. What's going on in the back rooms is pure conjecture for me. (Scumbria certainly believes there are designs in the works). Once a platform is deemed stable enough for consideration it could take many months of system qual before a product is released. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Compaq was in that process with Athlon right now. But again, the question for me is what level of support Intel will give the technology. What's happening at Gigabyte, for example? What's your honest assessment of the DDR Launch by the DDR folks? I think they're disappointed. But like I've been saying for months, I think SDRAM will have >80% share this year. <g> IMO, DDR will coexist with RDRAM. Gene
