Dave, MUCH THANKS for posting that EBN Rambus expose. It confirms that Intel will use "PC600" RAMWagon memory for Willy. (Its not really RamBUS, because its slower than a wagon (533 MHz, 16 bits = zero advantage over PC133, 64 bits). Also, wagons often hold a pile of cr*p, which describes RAMWagon perfectly.

"...the company is hedging its bets by adding support for cheaper, higher-yield PC600 Direct RDRAM to certain Willamette chipsets"

I liked this quote from Samsung:

"only 20% of Rambus chips now shipping are binned out at 800 MHz. ?And that's a factor of yields,? Eminian said."

If its that bad for Samsung, Micron and other RAMBUS makers must have even worse "binsplits."
