Thanks, Wily and Gary Wisdom. I believe it is interesting to look at the fact that what is perhaps (??) not the best technical solution to the memory problem is becoming the standard due to that exact point - the infrastructure being built to deal with RDRAMs production is being constructed piece by piece by Intel's driving force. I guess what I am really trying to understand in relation to this, is the following question. If there is a solution currently, say PC100 compliant SDRAM with CAS latency 2 for instance, or other SGRAMS that could be used until a truly better memory technology did go through a full development cycle, why isn't this happening? It seems to me that other items in the PC could use the development work more at this time, such as the PCI and AGP buses, instead of memory. The fact that memory speed hasn't kept pace with processor speed doesn't necessarily mean that memory speed is the real bottleneck at this point. I appreciate the discussion.
