Kash, <Also the dual channell RDRAM shoots them in both feet for most desktop solkutions.>

And the alternative would be? Dual DDR? Wow, now that's going to be one expensive platform (although the cheaper DDR memory itself may or may not make up for it). Single DDR? No, I don't think Intel wants to cripple Willamette with a substandard solution.

Yeah, the dual-Rambus thing will be rather expensive, too much so for desktops in late 2000, but then again, we're not going to see THAT many Willamettes in that time-frame anyway. "Hundreds of thousands" seems just right for a dual-Rambus platform.

I'm sure in 2001, we'll see other chipsets supporting Willamette and its follow-on, Northwood. Until then, I think the dual-Rambus decision is a good one, especially since Rambus is here and DDR isn't, at least not yet.
