MileHigh OT I don't have an concrete answers as both types of memory are still under development. (DRDRAM has been used in N64 and graphic card but it is still in prototyping in PC area). Current available samples indicate that latency is indeed a problem. Also the high clock speed also create some problem for MB manufacturers. We are taking about 600+ Mhz vs SLDRAM's 200Mhz. Is there a 32bit RDRAM available today? The memory manufacturers claim that SLDRAM is cheaper and as fast or faster than RDRAM. If that's true (Don't ask me), why bother with RDRAM? But it is anyone guess whether Rambus and Intel willing to give up. Intel really has the advantage as it is the sole chipset manufacturer. aC
