Hi Don Green; You write: "Betamax was acknowledged to be the superior product / technology and was supported by the superior technology companies in Japan. The main downfall was poor marketing by Sony. So can I then assume you think based on your comments Rambus has a superior technology but is just being mis-marketed by Intel???" You were the one that was comparing the list of companies supporting DDR to the list of companies supporting Betamax, not me. (Here's your post: #reply-15330092) Does this now mean that you are suggesting that DDR has the superior technology? I find your argument confusing. And frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. LOL!!! When you guys run out of understanding of the memory industry, you go off and try to change the subject to some other industry. Hey, I suppose a man's got to know his limitations. I just posted a long discussion showing the similarities between the DRAM to SDRAM conversion and the SDRAM to DDR conversion. I didn't change the subject to a list of companies involved in making video tape players. All you can come up with is Betamax. Give me a break, I'm not going to try to interpret your fantastical thinking for you. Why don't you instead find a case where Intel forced a radically new technology onto the memory industry successfully? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Instead, maybe you can illustrate some of the remarkable similarities between the video player industry and the memory industry, similarities that would tend to suggest that experiences in one can be carried over to the other. Oh, you don't know cr@p about either industry? Heck, as long as we're off in fantasy land, lets make up another comparison, one with more similarities: Intel is like CocaCola, in that they are the industry giant. Intel management decided that RDRAM was a better solution, while CocaCola management decided that "New Coke" was an improvement. Intel announced that they would eventually phase out SDRAM, CocaCola decided that they would phase out the old Coke. Consumers of CocaCola forced the company to reverse and unbury "Classic Coke", while Intel was forced to support SDRAM (and eventually DDR). (LOL!!!) -- Carl P.S. Comparing the memory industry to the sugar water or VCR industry is a joke, and the above should be interpreted humorously. We could sit around finding comparisons all night long and gain absolutely no predictive ability. But hey, if you don't know squat about memory, what else can you do?
