Chuck - RE: "check this out!" Oh SHT! Talk about a MAJOR screw up! And they didn't notice it until AFTER the machines were built and ready to be shipped? What kind of morons does Intel think OEMs are? First they indirectly force RamBUST on them ("'You will do this if you want to be our friend,' and they did.") Second they DELAY* Camino Third they DELAY* Cuontimemine Fourth they ship a FKED up platform Fifth they force OEMs to rebuild their current systems or ship a computer that doesn't even run properly! Who is in charge of this fiasco? One would think Jerry Sanders, but Jerry is in his room laughing his head off like I was when I started reading the article. To tell you the truth, I was laughing so hard I had to stop reading! On a more serious note, I feel for RamBUST investors. They have invested in supposedly good technology, but Intel has to screw things up for them. Oh well, most RamBUST investors are looking at 2001 anyways. And when the market opens tomorrow, Intel is gonna take a hit and it may bring down the tech sector after an already brutal day. Who thinks Micron is one of the smartest OEMs now? (Via's chipset and PC133 RAM) Intel better bet those 650 and 700 and 750MHz processors outta the fab quick because according to that article, it ain't gonna be pretty!
