RDRAM stands for Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory, and it was one of the leading forms of RAM on the market during the late 90s and early 2000s. Developed in the late 1990s, the first computers to use RDRAM didn't come out until 1999. However, it was on the market as early as 1996, and the extremely high memory-to-cost ratio of RDRAM led Nintendo to use it in their Nintendo 64 console. Sony also saw the value in RDRAM, and it was chosen for the Sony Playstation 2 console for its cost and volume.
RDRAM is considered to be high quality and generally well manufactured. However, it's design is meant to optimize cost, and as such it has a tendency to run hot. Gamers who owned Nintendo 64 or Playstation 2 consoles often complained of the heat produced by these chips, and many of the early Playstation 2's were prone to heat-caused motherboard failure due to inadequate ventilation and fan power, something Sony addressed in later versions of the console. This was not a problem for the Nintendo 64, since the Nintendo 64 did not use a CD-ROM for games. Thus, there was no CD-ROM drive to add heat and block the flow of air through the console.
RDRAM is also known to have significant latency problems due to its design. Additionally, motherboards which can accommodate more RDRAM but do not have all of their slots filled must have a spacer installed to permit the data to flow properly. As such, most pre-assembled computers that use RDRAM already have all available slots filled.
For these reasons, RDRAM was not widely adapted outside of budget computers. It was widely used in computers built by GateWay and Dell, however, especially simple models for those who are not technically inclined. It was thought that the shortcomings of RDRAM would not matter to users who rarely (if ever) upgrade their hardware, and are very concerned with the price of their computer. This necessitated large and energy-consumptive fans in these units, but since these computers were largely disposable, overheating concerns were largely ignored. This led to certain models with certain motherboards to gain a reputation for heat damage, especially when inexperienced users failed to give them adequate ventilation.
RDRAM was not widely adopted, and in 2004 it was revealed that the many companies which produced RDRAM's primary competitor, SDRAM, had colluded to control price and keep RDRAM off the market. Though the US Department of Justice awarded a large settlement to the Rambus company, RDRAM had already been effectively shut out of the market, and very few machines were capable of supporting it. Even at its peak, RDRAM was never supported on more than 5% of motherboards, and most of them were low-market models.
RDRAM is still produced, however only specific motherboards are capable of supporting it. Still, unlike SDRAM, RDRAM is very profitable to produce, though it is now more expensive than it's SDRAM competitor. It retains its supporters, and some hardware enthusiasts insist that it is the finest RAM on the market today, even though it is only made by a few specialty producers. Because of low demand, RDRAM is sold almost exclusively on the internet, although some hardware specialty stores still carry it.
