<The way I see it, why would Intel waste time and money to come up with a second, crippled Camino unless one of the things Camino was supposed to utilize isn't available.>

You don't understand. It's not a "crippled" Camino. Rather, it's a riser module that plugs into the RIMM slot that let's you use SDRAMs. The Camino chipset is still the same. The riser module was developed in order to smoothen the transition to Camino. Buy the system and use your existing SDRAM DIMMs, then move to RDRAM RIMMs when they become more available.

And no, supporting PC133 SDRAM isn't a knife in the back of Rambus, although the "anti-Rambus" establishment like Herr Uberclockermeister will do their very best to make it look that way.
