I love this quote!!

In a conference call with analysts last month, Intel senior vice president Paul Otellini, who is also co-head of the newly created Intel Architecture Group, reiterated the company's commitment to the Direct RDRAM interface. ?In the desktop, it's all Rambus memory, at least for the foreseeable future,? Otellini said.

The more this Otellini guy sticks his foot in his mouth, the more I like the guy. When he's out of work in a year, he can ride around in my limo any time!!

I have a few questions for you processor guys

1) Was Willamette designed with RAMBUST in mind?

2) If it was, will it suffer in performance by changing to a different memory platform (by how much)?

3) How big a deal for all parties involved would it be to change memory platforms?

4) Assuming Intel has a different memory design ready today, how long to get it implemented in volume?

5) Is there a way to go with different memory besides going with a MTH solution?

The reason I'm asking is because I think it's inevitable that Intel will switch. I can't believe management will be that stupid to keep pushing forward. This whole RAMBUST fiasco has to come to an end sometime

Thanks in advance to those of you that are more capable than me of answering these tough questions. I think I speak for all of us, we greatly appreciate it.
