Video Card with RDRAM???

I heard somone say there were some older video cards that had rambus rdram on them...I have this old POS cirrus logic AGP 4mb video card with the Rambus symbol stamped on the ram chips and on the core. Could this card be using rdram? If you think it is, lemme know so I can smash/burn/crush etc this card asap 🙂
 
yeah look at the cirris logic chip... it's prolly a 6454(or 5464 not sure)... the easy way to tell rambus from sdram is the pin outs.... RDRAM has lotsa pins on one side... and like only four or so on the other🙂
 
Haha, your right. Its a 5465 with a sh!tload of pins on one side, and 4 on the other...lol...time to burn! 🙂
 
how many chips?

i had to replace a customers 2mb ati rage 2c with a 2mb CL/RDRAM card last week.... thing worked great.....

and i must say... the CL drivers were much easier to get... ATI's site sucks for legacy drivers...
 
OK now, Listen... RAMBUS is not a memory type, it is a COMPANY! RDRAM is the memory type, which stands for Rambus DRAM, not Rambus RDRAM... Again, RAMBUS is a Company, and they have been developing Memory for like... a really long time, I don't know.. but at least 10-15 years I believe... so it's not surprising to see "Rambus" on something.. it doesn't necessarily mean it's the same memory architecture as "RIMM" which is what you might be thinking.
I believe Rambus owns a LOT of patents such as SDRAM, DDRSDRAM...etc.. PS2 has RDRAM in it.. "X" box does too... So, it must have something good about it. 😕

No, I don't care anything about either Rambus, OR RDRAM! I personally am against what they are doing to the PC business right now.
