First, DDR RAM and RDRAM (a.k.a. Rambus RAM) are two completely different things.  Now, for the Rambus question...it depends on the motherboard.  I know the newer i850 boards require the ram to be installed in pairs.  The first boards out did not need them to be installed in pairs.  I am not certain if the i850 was the first chipset to require pairs or not though.

Also forgot to mention...yes you need a terminator for all empty slots, for RDRAM.
