Interesting news coming out of the Computex trade show in Taiwan (emphasis added):

Intel's 820, also known under the name 'Camino', is slowly but surely coming along. I was able to collect a lot of interesting data about Camino from almost each motherboard maker. Most motherboard manufacturers seem to still have problems running the RDRAM at 400/800 MHz. Thus there were a lot of complaints about Camino in terms of stability. The high frequencies of Camino's RDRAM-interface seem to be a serious design hurdle for many motherboard makers. Very few motherboard makers could proudly say that their Camino-board was running stable at 400/800 MHz, and most complained that so far they couldn't find any performance advantage over BX. Everyone was complaining about the high price of RDRAM, which is why many expect Camino to become a failure. Intel has changed the design guide once again only a few days ago, coming up with a new solution to support SDRAM. Most motherboard makers understand that the old solution, which uses a riser card known as a RIMM/DIMM-converter, will yield an expensive and extremely low performing solution. Intel is now adding an extra MTH for SDRAM support into the Camino design guide, which is supposed to provide two DIMM (for SDRAM) and two RIMM (for RDRAM) slots per board. At this time it is not yet clear if the MTH will support PC133 or only PC100 SDRAM.
