Re: AMD did not invent DDR... DDR for PC's is 99.9% an AMD effort. AMD designed the only chipsets that were available for some time, AMD did the marketing. AMD basically made a home for DDR in PCs and by doing so AMD successfully stopped the deranged Intel Inquisition from hanging DDR as a witch and substituting overpriced, underperforming, Intel controlled RDRAM in its place. The whole RDRAM vs. DDR episode is a shameful one for Intel, and a perfect example of why so many people go out of their way to avoid Intel products. Intel's dream is to see its customers stuck with very expensive mediocre performing PCs. As a PC buyer, my dream is to be able to buy a high performance PC at low cost and therefore to see Intel's dream frustrated. If you have any trace of common sense, you'll just walk away from this particular discussion. AMD's sponsorship of DDR was a really great thing for everyone who cares about the progress of the computer industry, and Intel's machinations and conniving to force the market to use overpriced, Intel controlled, RDRAM was a really ugly thing it did to its loyal customers.
