    I see RAMBUS in very big trouble. Especially when Intel starts producing DDR P4 chipsets.

        It just figures. We blast them for the retarded pricing, and for it being rammed down our throats by Intel, and now FINALLY when it drops so much that its actually affordable (and it does perform well, so I considered it), NOW they begin to die.

          RAMBUS sucks, Playstation 2 rocks!

          The only good RAMBUS is in PS2's, but this is just my opinion.

            And in N64's, I think.

            Rambus isn't a useless technology. The single chips that are present in the consoles are put to good use.

            But putting them onto a RIMM and putting them in most PC's is a bad idea.
            1) The RIMM's have an awful manufacturing process. Yield sucks, hence part of the high pricing.

            2) Most people will need the lower latency over the bandwidth

            3) Newer chipsets (such as the nForce) have dual SDRAM channels. Yes, that means we once again have to buy RAM sticks in matching pairs, but hey, double your bandwidth.
