The JEDEC oligopoly is not necessarily better than a RAMBUS monopoly. I hope people can keep an open mind about this sort of thing, since I'm sure there are people who are like me that do not appreciate paying RDRAM-style prices for lackluster performance and scalability of DDR2/3/etc. It's not like there isn't a demand for higher performance memories. At least give it a shot. I remember the days when there was a little upstart company called "AMD" that challenged goliath and through competition inspired innovation. RAMBUS may and may not be such a thing, but I am repeatedly disappointed when I do not see any production designs implementing the technology. After all, the bandwidth isn't the only feature worth looking into. All I ask is that people take a second look at the technology, politics aside.
