Jim,
You posted a link this morning questioning VIA's commitment to DDR. You might want to check out this article:
aceshardware.com
Fremont, CA, April 10, 2000 - VIA Technologies, Inc., today announced it has
selected Double Data Rate (DDR266) SDRAM as the memory technology that will
follow its successful PC133 for future PC chipsets. DDR266 supported VIA
chipsets will be targeted across the PC Market at servers, desktop systems,
Value PCs and mobiles. Established on the existing SDRAM industry
infrastructure, DDR266 is a rational high performance and cost-efficient
solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and system
integrators. In cooperation with key memory suppliers including Micron,
Samsung, Hyundai, Infineon, Hitachi, NEC, Mitsubishi, Nanya, Toshiba and
others, VIA is proactively participating in every stage of the engineering
development of the DDR266 device and PC2100 memory module technology to
ensure that VIA's DDR chipset is compliant with current JEDEC DDR SDRAM
standards.
BTW: You completely missed the point of my discussion with Ten. It had nothing to do with the commercial viability of overclocked systems. We were discussing the validity of Tom's benchmark numbers as an apples to apples comparison of performance.
