One thing I find so funny about hearing you cheap and whiney gamers complain about rambus is the constant complaint of price.

The stuff is way way cheaper than $1/1MB, but since SDRAM is at its cheapest level ever, this automatically makes rambus this big expensive waste of cash. SDRAM was 3X the current cost of RDRAM less than a year ago today.

I have a 1.4 GHz Athlon with 512 Megs RAM. A P4 that would be the same speed in all but Quake 3 and encoding in DiVX would cost like 4x the price of my base CPU/Mobo?RAM.

I don't see Intel pickup up many people with their over priced CPU/RAM in the high end home (AKA GAMER) market.

Current RAMBUS price (as of 3:15PM EST): $6.55

Historical high: $112
52-week high: $83

Right now, Rambus is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They've already lost big in the courts (50-plus counts of fraud is never good), and the DRAM manufacturers are out looking for vengeance. This move is bad for Intel.

Rambuss isn't really that expensive. While I would rather use an AMD/DDR combo I just have to say fuck VIA motherboards. With the new P4's I set up there is no need for new 4 in 1 drivers every week. And the intel boards are stable right out of the box.Don't tell me VIA boards are too because you need to drop 4 in 1's in then set up the ATA 100 controler then the AGP minidriver then upgrade 4 in 1's weekly. With the new P4 systems its Build CPU Done. There is no need to install drivers for the motherboard itself. I just hope the Nforce boards will rock with AMD and DDR.
