He’s just waiting for a refresh.
Or he didn't get refreshed in time. I knew this joke would be here.
Let's make a minute of silence for... Oh.. what are we making a minute of silence for?
Was RDRAM a nod to Dennard or pure coincidence?
RDRAM == Rambus DRAM as far as I know. It's a trademark or some such.
Yes, that's the official name. I'm asking if it intentionally or coincidentally coincides with Robert Dennard's initials.
