Look, I know RDRAM is expensive and proprietary, BUT it provides (to my admitedly sub-engineer level knowledge) higher performance and lower latency. Add to these the apparent fact that very high speed DDR/DDRII has frequency issues that affect stability. Why is everyone so anti-Rambus? Further, the specs on Yellowstone seem amazing - at levels of performance and efficiency not available with DDR based technology. If Intel abandons Rambus, is this a good thing? Is this anti-Rambus, pro-DDR hype a cost issue or is it a proprietary tech issue? I just want to build fast, rock-solid systems. Maybe my premises on Rambus tech being superior are wrong - anyone have opinions on this?
