Carl:
So why are you implying my numbers are fictional?

The 400-500% part is fictional so the vast majortiy of users because 128 MB sticks are still comprise the the vast majority of sticks sold out there.

why you insist on quoting only Samsung and Micron. Oh, is it because that gives an advantage to RDRAM, LOL!!!

Wrong again aba.org head. I could have quoted generic RDRAM at $92 but since RMBS provides some benefits of quality control of RDRAM & RIMMs via licensing I figures only quoting name brands is way to go. Do you, HP, Dell typcial source generic SDRAM on generic fiberglass boards for any of your projects. I doubt it.

covering Dell's butt" for the extra expense of RDRAM, but that hardly means jack to the rest of the industry.

The $100 offer to produce P4 Intel system was from a small OEM in NJ who buys CPU's directly from Intel. It is open offer to any of Intel OEM customers.

Any guesses as to when the next major box maker starts providing DDR

All of them when Intel validates the 845 chipset with DDR memory for P4 sometime late this year ot early next year.

you never answered my questions about your predictions that ECC registered DDR DIMMs would be very expensive. Care to comment?

I did search on pricewatch for DDR ecc registered and came back with just 11 entries.
Registered EEC DDR memory of 256 MB appears to be about $150-160 on price watch. Can you confirm that a 256 MB Registered DDR module is made up of 32 pieces of 128 Mbit chips. If your talking about larger memory sizes for server applications Corsair has a 512 MB registered DDR for $776. So depending on the application registered DDR memory for servers with large memory sizes ($1.25 per meg) can be more expensive than RDRAM typically use for desktops ($0.8 per meg).

PS Before you respond again, why don't you just call me a mon and pop thread moron and get over with it. I am sure it will make you feel much better and it will same us botha lot of time. I can see when you are just trying to pick a fight.

" I chose 256MB because I wanted the largest size that was already plentiful in the market. For a high end memory solution, I think it's obvious that the larger size memories are more suitable."

I agree, Bilow. 256 is the "normal" size in a hiperf PC now.
However shouldn't you go a step further, as the P4 works with two RIMMs to compare a single 256 DIMM with two 128 RIMMS?
