<Chuck - re: My understanding is that Camino (or some varient) does support PC100 directly. If not then I can see what you guys are talking about. Even if that is the case they could use some other chipset but that would be somewhat of a setback. So, one of us is misinformed - Could someone on the thread set us right with the correct answer?> Chuck, Found something that seems to support your assertion that there is a direct support for SDRAM. Kap. techstocks.com 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.
