   Because everyone abandoned it.

   Yeah?  Well, I can go out and buy a Ferrari.  That doesn't mean 
they're common.

   I don't know what the actual production volumes are, but I'd wager 
RAMBUS memory is manufactured at a rate probably one-thousandth that of 
DDR or PC133 (or whatever the PeeCee memory-of-the-week is) modules.
