Intel's Desktop 2001 Roadmap Update indicates direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) will only be used in the high-end desk-top market
I'd like to bring about a point. Consider the i815E. Its what Intel would consider a low-end SDRAM chipset. Is that why they put a 512 MB barrier on it? Even more bugging is the fact that Intel limits you to 2 PC133 DIMMS or 3 PC100 DIMMS.
This statement only acknowledges that Intel finally knows that low-end customers are *probably*;-> not going to shell out bigbucks for RDRAM. It still doesn't change their position to the market.
