Good morning, unclewest. I think you're right -- no DDRDRAM systems demoed yet that I know of. Unstable? Probably. I think the problem is the number of initials. Any technology with more than 6 initials in the name is inherently unstable. First we had RAM, then DRAM, then SDRAM. All were pretty simple to implement and stable. Now we're moving toward DRDRAM. Six letters in the name puts it right on the edge of doable. No wonder they're having delays! DDRDRAM just has too many letters in the name, though. They'll never get it to work! SLDRAM might have been successful, but they gave up too early (or DRDRAM had too much of a headstart in the six letter name category). So I predict that, unless they shorten the name, they'll never get DDRDRAM to work. VBG Dave
