Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Spot on...Intel licensed the technology (which, to be fair, could sustain 3000mb/s at it's final iteration), built it's workstation motherboards around it and used the Xeon stranglehold on that tier of the Market to try and squeeze out AMD, I think. Failed dismally, but actually I can't complain about my personal experience with it, just the exorbitant cost for a performance advantage that lasted all of about a year before DDR2/3 smashed it to pieces...
