Notice that the release also states that....my version..... >>In the past Silicon Graphics has been one of the first to adopt new memory technologies as Rambus and SDRAM. The company anticipates having more designs to make use of those technologies ( hmmm, wonder what those could be)However, DDR is the clear choice (cheap) for its future ((precarious though it may be) scalable server memory. (we sure hope we can palm a few more of these off before RDRAM has an insurmountable installed base)

> DDR for servers. About a year ago I read some articles on RDRAM that voice concerns about using it for servers. The point is because RDRAM runs at a very high frequency, the length of the bus is limited, which means limited memory slots. Server on the other hand requires large amount of memory, Xeon platform that Intel have released right now have 16 slot on each memory board. So SGI may have their reasons. I do not know if this restriction has been fixed or not. Tim Just my 0.02$
