Mile, just so there is someone half way in between the large gap of 177 and 225, put me in at $200 for the high, 60 7/8 for the low, and a close of $170. Dc

From the March 1999 issue of Windows magazine, page 138, in an article title "Hot or Hype" (an article discussing which technologies will be hot or not in 1999). Under the section titled "RAM" (which includes 2 entries): ----------- Rambus (listed as Hot) As processors have gotten faster, existing RAM technologies have remanied relatively stable. We've seen the switchover from page mode to EDO to SDRAM, then to 100MHz SDRAM. But with processor clock speeds moving toward 500MHz, a significant gap remains between processor and RAM performance. Several new memory technologies seek to close this gap by increasing the chips' speed and widening the bandwidth with which they communicate with the processor. The players include double data rate RAM, or DDR RAM (also known as SDRAM II), SLDRAM, Direct RDRAM (aka Direct Rambus) and Concurrent RDRAM (aka Concurrent Rambus). Of these, Direct Rambus, endorsed by Intel, offers the greatest speed improvements, moving the peak bandwidth from SDRAM's 125MBps to an astounding 1.6GBps. Expect to see PCs with Direct Rambus memory later this year. ----------- EDRAM (listed as Hype) EDRAM, aka ESDRAM, is a memory scheme that boosts performance by adding cache directly onto the memory chip. Though a promising technology, it's not socket-compatible with existing SDRAM. Worse, it's expensive, and doesn't offer the dramatic improvement in throughput Direct Rambus offers. Don't expect to see EDRAM on our motherboard any time soon.
