Elmer,

If you don't care about cost then you're home free.

Cost involves many factors. The high pin count causes greater package costs, but the lower bus speed increases yields, and decreases board design issues. The wide K7 bus may turn out to be a lower cost solution than a high speed narrow bus, and yet provide the same performance.

Does it occur to you that high MHz memory is also expensive? The two solutions are just expensive in different ways. And since AMD has licensed Rambus technology, I imagine their chipsets will work with both.
