VGA 64MB RAMBUS RAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its just a dream


do u think it maybe come true ?

There have been cards in the past that used RDRAM, so I've little doubt it's possible. I can't see WHY you would possibly want it though.
Many, if not all of RDRAM's benefits are wasted on a video card, and when utilized in the manner necessary for graphics DRAM it would provide bandwidth significantly lower then modern DDR SDRAM on a 128bit data path can provide.
Remember, system DRAM interfaces and the memory controller on a video card are vastly different things. RDRAM would be a poor solution at best.

I think pretty much all major DRAM types around at the moment have insufficient speed to allow for the possibility of super high polygon / high quality textures in games.

Embedded DRAM (still not put into production on a PC add-in card) is the only brute-force option which would allow the possibility of such quality graphics, but that Glaze3D chip is taking longer and longer to arrive.

Hence the reason efficiency is being focused on ever more.

Nah, DDR is faster than RAMBUS for a video card anyway.
