The battle is over, industry chose DDR. But before you conclude from this that RDRAM is the memory of the future, you should look at what the industry as a whole is doing. Well, that's probably beyond your abilities, so why don't you just look at what Samsung is doing in DDR: boards.fool.com I asked the compaq rep what soft of mix there would be with AMD pc's going forward and he said all the current retail lines will be going to P4 and the only AMD system will be on the custom configure KIOSKs. I find this a bad sign if true. He said this doesn't mean they are dropping AMD, but rather firming thier relationship with Intel. The PS/2 will use RDRAM chips for a couple more years, but the P4 looks to be converted to DDR by around 12 or 18 months from now. Take a look at the number of DDR chipsets under development for the P4, and compare it to the number of RDRAM chipsets:users.erols.com ;
