Are there any hardware that uses RDRAM?

[Circlenaut]

I've heard of video cards sound cards and some network cards use DDR RAM and SDR RAM. Are there any that uses RDRAM. Just wondering.

Not a computer product, but the Playstation 2 uses RDRAM.

No PC hardware than uses RDRAM. Some gaming consoles use a lightly modified variant of it though.

N64 used RDRAM

My oh my... you guys can't remember too far back then.

I had a Creative Labs Graphics Blaster that used RDRAM. Long ago though.

sirfergy: what model is that? I really can't recall that any videocard is using RDRAM for it's memory.. I've seen FP-DRAM, EDO DRAM, EDRAM, VRAM, SGRAM, SDR/DDR SDRAM, but never seen one that uses RDRAM.

i've even seen mdram, but no rdram

oh, and i have a WRAM card... dual ported like VRAM, but cheaper and faster

found a hardware link for a product using RDRAM

While Xmas shopping, I saw a videocard with RDRAM on it. It was made by some generic company and the awesome performance blurb on the box made me chuckle.

I have a PCI Cirrus Logic that looks like it has RDRAM on it

Actually, a lot of consumer products use RDRAM, aside from computers...
Electronic products that requires a lot of bandwidth use RDRAM quite often, like HDTVs...
Some LCD monitors use RDRAM now, and there were some VGA cards that used RDRAM as graphic memory.

You can find products that use RDRAM here.
