The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is asking a federal judge for an immediate antitrust ruling against Rambus, accusing the technology company of destroying evidence.

Stephen Calkins, a professor of law at Wayne State University in Detroit and a former Federal Trade Commission general counsel, said the move by the FTC was highly unusual.
``This case is being very, very vigorously litigated,'' Calkins said. ``It's not one of those cases where people have forgotten about it.'' He added that the FTC lawyers would likely have a very high hurdle to overcome to get FTC Administrative Law Judge James Timony to rule on the case without a trial.
In its 59-page response to the FTC motion, Rambus said that unless the motion was simply intended as ``character assassination,'' the motion ``likely reflects a growing recognition by complaint counsel that there are serious holes in their case.''
A trial date has been set for April 9 for the FTC case.

Looks like the new SiSR658 chipset will support PC1200 RDRAM. So Rambus is continuing the line of 16bit ram, are they gonna make a 32bit version also and when will they come out? Article says the new ram is outperformaing other systems when will we see some benchmarks? Does SiS plan on supporting 32bit RIMMs in the future?
Edit: Also has anyone seen any reviews of the EPoX EP-4T4A+? How does it compare to the Asus P4T533?

Yes, you were wrong. You were comparing 1GB PC2700 to 512MB RDRAM. at $57 dollars for 256MB DDR, and $99 for 256MB PC1066, obviously the DDR is cheaper, and yes the RDRAM beats the DDR system, but by less than 1%, at $84 dollars more. I will agree with you though, that the Granitebay boards are a bit expensive, but they arent more than 84 dollars than an RDRAM board.

Somebody please make it clear how the Duel DDR ram works? If it doesnt take twice the ram for same effective ram, I would like to know why its called Duel?
it kinda works like raid 0
the data block is split into 2 and stored into the coresponding ram. so you will get the full amount of ram at twice the speed(theoratically)
the reason why granite bay is slower a little than RDRAM is because the memory controller has to take time to split the data block

Ok i found some discussion about the Epox board, seems it just sucked so nobody even bothered with it. It seems that the SiS R658 can support both 16 and 32bit ram its up to mobo makers to decide which to go with. Seems the pics posted do have a 32bit version being produced so thats good news for P4T533 fans.
Asus P4G8X(Granite Bay) motherboard - $225.00
2 256 mb sticks Crucial PC2700 - $136.00
total - $361.00
Asus P4T533 motherboard - $188.00
2 256 mb sticks of 32 bit RDRAM - $175.78
total - $363.78
Where's the 84 dollar difference? You can go round and round in circles trying to play number's games. The P4T533 board only needs one 32 bit RAM module. So, if you only need 256 MB of RAM, you can cut that $175.78 price in half ($87.89).
