Richard,

Funny thing, how RDRAM's work in so many other applications, except for Intel's i820 chipset? Any ideas?

The consensus opinion I can garner is that the problem is in the printed circuit board design/layout on the mobos. If it's fixable, as we heard (sort of, call it hinted or where's the announcement?) by reducing from 3 RIMMs down to 2, this implies traces and/or stubs too long or otherwise ugly. It doesn't imply the chipset. Still, Intel is holding back Camino, aren't they.

I'll bet the other applications in which Rambus works are much simpler in terms of PCB layout. Clear as mud still, isn't it?

Tony
