KZ, You can have between 4 and 16 (I think) banks open at the same time in each drdram chip. Therefore you get a much larger fraction of fast accesses. Then, does it follow that this feature does make DRDRAM the best for interleaving, and the choice for PCs with multiple sources doing DMA accesses on main memory (like Ten's example of "systems which have multiple sources all accessing memory concurrently, like the Coppermine processor, AGP-4x graphics card, and PCI devices (A3D sound card, network card, disk controller")? I hope that this explanation was comprehensible. Just right! Thanks, Tony
