no

 

[Ben]

Nope

flames removed

 

[Adul]

Helll NOO!

 

[Enkrates]

NO! NO! NO!

 

[Warrenton]

No!! Esp since Intel is abandoning it!!! All the products that support it that are no longer in development (final products, so basically Willy and its chipset) support it, but after that its all DDR BABEE!!

 

[hans007]

if intel gave it to me and i'm talking 256mb at least for free, yes.

 

[Robor]

I have a strong dislike of Rambus and would prefer to use another option. I'd use it but only if it's the best and most cost effective option. Whoever has the best solution (value, speed, compatibility) gets my money.

[Do'Urden]

heh, yeah... like fat chance!!

Noway. Not as things are looking now. Way to expencive... anyone want to give me like 256megs of it (atleast)?? Maby 512megs?? Then I might... just might.

 

[LXi]

Like the option said:

Only if its cheaper and faster than DDR.

 

[Ben]

Believe it or not I actually was entertaining the idea. Then I read the article at ArsTechinca about how RAMBUS works. That ruined it for me.

 

[AMB]

NO

 

[prodigy]

Rambus "is suck"

 

[Gstanfor]

Never, ever.

[Jonny]

dont think so

 

[HigherGround]

yes...under the following circumstances...

1. price of a RDRAM stick is around the price of the respective SDRAM counterpart (this seemed highly unlikely until recent RDRAM price cuts, so who knows)
2. pentium 4 and its chipset (i850?) has to perform and I mean Perform (based on some early numbers, i can't see how P4 will measure up to AMD and the 760 chipset..honestly i think that P4 just as a CPU will suck, but the chipset might make up some ground to 760 and DDR)

so it all comes down to performance/price ratio...if intel delivers I'll get RDRAM solution, if not I'll get AMD with DDR. I know some people make silly political statements by saying that Rambus is evil and that we all should stand up to it (yeah), but for me it's as simple as benchmark numbers and the bottom line on my CC

 

[Weyoun]

i second that higherground

 

[Xmech]

HSRAM

 

[Shagga]

I think ya all telling porkies. If RAMBUS was faster and cheaper than DDR (Fat Chance) I think most of you would go RAMBUS. Cos ya aall want the fastest possible system.

 

[etech]

No, a closed propritary standard would be the worst thing that could happen. I do not like the company for the way they joined Jedec and later amended their patents to cover the open standard SDRAM.
I do not like they way they are trying to charge more for DDR licenses just to push RDRAM. I am rooting for Micron to win the lawsuit.

 

[Ausm]

No way

Ausm

 

[KarsinTheHutt]

IFF Rambus is cheaper and faster than DDRSDRAM, which looks unlikely right now...

 

[Dark4ng3l]

No way. Im never geting an intel based system again. Intel just want the money(Hogher clock speed p4 = "faster" .People wil buy the 1.4ghz p4 instead of the 1.3 ghz thunderbird because the p4 is oubviousely faster(not true). Intel is now all marketing and bring nothing to make computer performance go up.

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Oh yea and if you buy rambus you give em more $$$ to sue the competition out of buisness

 

[Redwingsguy]

Yes if its optimized for P4 and will enhance my internet experience and let me get into it!
