Regarding whether RDRAM is meaningful for cell phones, I am not up to date on dynamic RAM technologies, but in cell phones, Low Power consumption is the name of the game. I always thought dynamic RAM ran at higher current drains relative to static RAM (general statement), 'cuz you need refresh clocking on DRAMs, and that translates to power consumed. Static designs generally save power over dynamic designs. Can someone (a HW designer) comment specifically on power consumption? George
