Jim, <It seems likely that the 820E has dual channel RDRAM capability>

I don't think so. Instead, I think all four RIMM slots will reside on the same RDRAM channel. This was the original intention, although the initial 820 implementation couldn't support more than three, then two due to electrical problems. The new 820E should have a new stepping of the north bridge, solving the two-RIMM limitation (and perhaps even the three-RIMM limitation).

My hope is that the new 820E north bridge also improves performance somewhat. That should silence the critics a little, though the cost issue still remains.
