Actually I don't think there are only two types of ram.  Since I have
never let any of my clients buy a system that used rambus ram (due to the
licensing requirements that would have made it really expensive) I did
make the faulty assumption that no one else would either.  Sorry - My
Mistake.

I can see now, based on the pricing for rambus, that I was steering my
clients in the right direction.  Its used by so few systems that 
Micron (crucial) doesn't even manufacture it.  Which is a shame.
crucial is one of the best sources I have ever found for RAM and their
customer support and service are excellent as well.

Yep, your right. I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn and made incorrect
assumptions.
