Kap,

<This may be a very important clue of a change in the roadmap: continue slotted PIII/PC100/PC133 for a long time, well into the next year. The DRDRAM problems or poor CuMine yields would be behind such change.>

Intel may be forced to support PIII longer than they want to because of the delayed CuMine introduction and also because they do not have a viable chipset for CuMine internally. Given the more recent developments, Intel probably would do anything in their power to not use VIA chipsets. That makes the DRDRAM saga an intriguing one. The current release date is Sep 27. This seems suspiciously like some one is trying to say "hey, we shipped it in 3rd quarter - per our promise" regardless of its marketability, production worthiness or intent to use.
