Elmer, I will break with the typo-jumping crowd and again ask a question of eternal puzzlement to me. Why didn't Intel just upgrade the BX? OK, it would have cannibalized the 820, but by all indications there's not much to cannibalize there anymore, it's not clear there ever was. You guys all scoff at Dr. Tom, but I find it very hard to believe that upgrading the BX to PC133 would be anywhere near as hard as running the cumine at a ghz. In fact, I somewhat doubt building a DDR controller based on the BX would be as hard as producing the ghz cumine. Being long AMD, I'm happy to see the Rambus tail wagging Intel around as long as possible, but most techies still think the BX is the best chipset ever, and it's headed for the scrapheap. Were all those roadmaps produced in stone in Intel's Mt. Sinai etching facility? Cheers, Dan.
