Dave, DDR has been in active use for quite some time. It is hard to find a graphics card with anything other than DDR. Graphics is one application where DDR provides a significant performance boost, and it was pushed into that market early. Nobody wanted DDR on a motherboard until very recently, and the product has arrived at the same time as the Athlon 266 MHz bus, which is the first CPU that can have benefit from DDR. This is in contrast to Intel mindlessly pushing the i820 two years ago, even though it was obvious to any engineer with half a brain that SDRAM saturates the PIII bus. I know that you think you understand what is going on with RDRAM and DDR, but you don't. Scumbria
