OK now I am confused (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing)!

So you are both agreeing that one cannot fit enough RDRAM in a server. At least not the kind of server that IA-64 was made for. Yet somehow Intel saw fit to make McKinley RDRAM compatible?! Why? It seems to me that based on what I've read here, DDR is a much better choice for McKinley.

"LOL! Whatever you want to believe, Ali."
So, do you doubt U.S. Court testimonies, or what?

"the [Rambus] ability to get large amounts of memory into the system"

According to estimations, it is still a show-stopper
fir Rambus to make 64GB of memory. Are you saying that
Intel plans McKinley as a toy computer?
