Ted, "I think the cost to replace the MB's is exaggerated; the cost to Intel's reputation has yet to be calculated." Why do you feel its exaggerated? Labor, materials (rambus?), transportation, etc. Who eats the cost of rambus? Will they use the dreaded via for those who refuse the rambus switch or make them wait for the 815? Hundreds of millions sounds about right. As for the reputation damage, well ... priceless. "The company will replace the faulty motherboards it made itself with the Rambus models. For those made by other companies, Intel will work to use another design or fix the problem." "Intel said the replacements will be done by computer makers, dealers or a contractor that Intel will send out to users' offices or home." quote.bloomberg.com I'd love to be a fly on the wall at some of these house/office calls, esp those by the subs.
