Lee - you'll need a little background here, I see... DSL is a wire standard, base physical layer and transport layer in the 7 layer ISO model. So it would normally be applied outside of the box and can be used to carry any protocol layer. Lots of different technologies could be used to implement DSL. RMBS is a technology used inside the box to allow higher transfer rates to and from memory by putting intelligence into the memory subsystem itself. It is not a bus standard per se although it has bus implications. The basic idea is that predictive algorithms like those used in the multi-level cache on the CPU side can provide better throughput for many typical applications, and something like the same performance for even random operations (although there is a little latency penalty in current implementations). So RMBS technology does not affect the absolute bandwidth at the wire or bus level but instead provides reduced average access times by pre-fetching likely data. Hope that is not overly technical and helps your understanding.
