<840 would definitely kick RCC server chipsets ass performance wise.> Actually, that remains to be seen. RCC's chipsets just have a very different structure compared to 840 Carmel. In an MPR article covering RCC's products, it seems that RCC actually has three chipsets in their portfolio. The first two, called the Entry and Departmental ServerSet, supports one or two channels of PC133, respectively. They also support two Xeons on one 133 MHz FSB. From an initial glance, those chipsets will have lower latencies than 840, but the memory bandwidth may be lacking. I also didn't see any AGP-4x port on RCC's chipsets, so graphics workstation vendors will probably choose 840 over RCC. (The third chipset is called Enterprise ServerSet III, but that's more of a replacement for the old 450NX chipset than a competitor to 840.) I think there will be markets that 840 Carmel can serve better than RCC, and vice-versa. It's just too bad that RCC's chipsets aren't supporting Rambus. Tenchusatsu
