Unclewest, <timna with mth and sdram is so slow compared to timna with rdram it may never make it. intel certainly cannot use mth to compete with sony.> Cost is the main issue with Timna-based PCs, not necessarily performance. Pairing up Timna with an MRH-S component (formerly known as MTH) might be a drag on performance, but if RDRAM prices stay high through Timna's release, Intel might have no other choice but to support SDRAM on Timna as an interim solution. By the way, unless Timna is going into Microsoft's rumored game box, I fail to see how Timna-based systems are going to compete with Sony Playstation 2 in anything except an indirect sense. How many people are willing to buy a PS2 just for e-mail, web browsing, and downloading MP3 files? (You have to buy a PS2 keyboard, then a PS2 storage device, then get a PS2-specific Internet connection, etc.) Tenchusatsu
