Rambus DRAM (RDRAM'), and its successors Concurrent Rambus DRAM (CRDRAM) and Direct Rambus DRAM (DRDRAM), are types of synchronous dynamic RAM developed by Rambus from the late-1980s through to the early-2000s. The third-generation of Rambus DRAM, DRDRAM was replaced by XDR DRAM. Rambus DRAM was developed for high-bandwidth applications, and was positioned by Rambus as replacement for various types of contemporary memories, such as SDRAM.
DRDRAM was initially expected to become the standard in PC memory, especially after Intel agreed to license the Rambus technology for use with its future chipsets. Further, DRDRAM was expected to become a standard for graphics memory. However, RDRAM got embroiled in a standards war with an alternative technology—DDR SDRAM—and quickly lost out on grounds of price, and later, performance. By around 2003, DRDRAM was no longer supported by any personal computer.
The first PC motherboards with support for RDRAM debuted in late 1999, after two major delays. RDRAM was controversial during its widespread use by Intel for having high licensing fees, high cost, being a proprietary standard, and low performance advantages for the increased cost. RDRAM and DDR SDRAM were involved in a standards war. PC-800 RDRAM, which operated at 400 MHz and delivered 1600 MB/s of bandwidth over a 16-bit bus. It was packaged as a 184-pin RIMM (Rambus in-line memory module) form factor, similar to a DIMM (dual in-line memory module). Data is transferred on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, a technique known as DDR. To emphasize the advantages of the DDR technique, this type of RAM was marketed at speeds twice the actual clock rate, i.e. the 400 MHz Rambus standard was named PC-800. This was significantly faster than the previous standard, PC-133 SDRAM, which operated at 133 MHz and delivered 1066 MB/s of bandwidth over a 64-bit bus using a 168-pin DIMM form factor.
Living a day at a time be the rhythm that fit
That way I´m always quick to predict a glitch
Building a house brick by brick and bit by bit
Living a day at a time, a day at a time
Living a day at a time be the rhythm that fit
That way I´m always quick to predict a glitch
Building a house brick by brick and bit by bit
I light a thick spliff get my wit in pitch
Time goes by so fast I lose hold of myself / Need
something to cool me down,
or my motor will melt / Totally set on not getting old
yet / but time will
catch up with you like an old debt / Still... hurry
spells worry with a W,
you heard me? It´s too early, my world be looking all
blurry / Listen, wait
a minute / I got a job that I aim to finish / ain´t got
time for no lazy
business / I´m losing crazy minutes the way I sleep all
day and shit /
Professional time waster / sitting here wondering why
the earth keep
worshipping that almighty paper / Quick, fast, world on
the move / Think of
yourself, no room for the merciful / Gotta be versatile
/ Being everywhere,
doing everything, at the same time / Don´t waste time
on that lazy state of
mind now / All cats ain´t got nine lives now / It´s now
or never so better
just get it together / You ain´t gone be living forever
/ I know this / The
clock stay ticking and I can´t control this / Can´t be
living at a low risk
/ so I might as well roll this / Oh yes / reminisce on
some old shit / my
flow is reaching your sofas / all of my mental
soldiers.

I light a thick spliff get my wit in pitch
I be telling you listen I don´t lie
Time always be keeping a close eye
You don´t believe me then you take a nosedive
Slow down, don´t you know now
Chasing euros or dollars or then you chase pounds
Hurry, hurry you keep up the pace now
You ain´t really with it I see it in your face now
Slow down, don´t you know now
Now all sorts of folks die / Think I´m lying then ask
the Most High / Open
your mind / c´mon wake up open your eyes / Realize you
taking a nosedive / I
won´t resign, won´t recline / Kinda the same as time
won´t rewind / But I´m
a relax / ´cos if you thinking like that then your
stress will multiply / I
suppose I´m saying I ain´t scared to die / ´cos the
next place might be the
best place, still I don´t waste time estimating / So
get your bets placed in
/ It´s the game of life, for life / all day, all night
/ Remain your fight
and you be set for escalating / Guys defecating by
paper chasing, I ain´t
got time for that / I need a real woman I ain´t got
time to mack / Spending
half of my time in a cold climate / Time´s back / I was
looking for time but
now I know where time´s at / Where´s that? / It´s right
here between
yesterday and tomorrow / you follow? / Time will go by
whether you dating a
model / or you got problems and everyday you escape
with the bottle / I
don´t know why, though / I just glide slow through my
life / time for
happiness, time for sorrow / Living a day at a time...

Now whether you spitting them dope rhymes.
Or working the coalmine
Or sniffing them coke lines
Or sleeping the whole time
Breeding or killing
Walking the narrow road or sinning
Losing or winning
