rudedog, Even though RDRAM has bigger bandwidth than SDRAM, it still suffers from a key problem common to all DRAM designs: latency......<snip>..... On top of that, is the wait imposed by the system--such as Direct RDRAM--that transfers that information. Early Direct RDRAM technology had high latency, but the modern design is about 10 billionths of a second faster than any other technology, shipping or planned, Toprani said. Yes, I will agree that latency is an issue with RDRAM, but it is an issue with all DRAM designs (as noted by someone smarter than me <gg>) RMBS has simply built the best mousetrap for now, and with INTC support and all the necessary infrastructure being deployed by the DRAM manu's, I do not see it being displaced for at least the next 2-3 years. I am not arguing, just stating my opinion. Although, as is always the case in High Tech, you must watch out for the next "better built mousetrap"! And it is here, that I am betting that RMBS R&D is already working on it. Regards, MileHigh
