David, The RDRAM interface achieves its high speed by transferring byte wide data at several hundred MHz. Electrical problems make it difficult to put too many devices on the bus so very large devices are necessary if you want to build large modules. This is why the first users of RDRAM were game machines and graphics cards that benefit from high speed memory but don't require a large memory space. This is also the reason why servers probably won't use RDRAM. Ed
