Oops, I just noticed I had a double negative "doesn't not" warrant...I guess he could construe that I meant it merits discussion...<gg>

>> The supposed "technical assessment" spends most of its time speculating on strategic motives and making nontechnical assertions. << The fact that you think this post was not technical, probably means that is was too technical. (Which I was afraid of) To sum it up in layman's terms, Rambus provides a high-speed interface to DRAM, not a faster DRAM. However, it is the access time of the DRAM, not the frequency of the interface which determines system performance. For example, a 10-bit RDRAM interface running at 600 MHz, has the same performance as a 60-bit DRAM interface running at 100MHz. The only advantage to the RDRAM interface, is that is uses fewer pins.
