Edgar, this is old news and was reported back in August. Intel is not the one behind it as their preference. See the part of the article below with the URL for the complete story. """ One alternative to Direct RDRAM is double data rate (DDR) synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), noted Brett Etter, DRAM product marketing manager at Hitachi Semiconductor & I.C. division. Direct RDRAM is likely to appear in low-cost to midrange systems, and DDR SDRAM in the highest-performance servers, he said. "There's going to be a Rambus market and a DDR market," said Etter. "Hitachi is going to do both." Unfortunately, DDR SDRAM has its own problems, memory-chip marketers agreed. Synchronizing signals will be bidirectional in the highest-performance systems, and unidirectional in less-capable systems, they said. DRAM without a strobe will find its way into some workstations, they said. "There's going to be a segmentation in the industry," said one observer. """ infoworld.com
