Good grief Joe, Now I am really confused. Over on the INTEL thread they just told me (and I don't think Tony would lie:8) that the Willy FSB will be 400MHz which will give a 800 Mb/s data rate. But they are equally confused about Foster. Frankly I don't see how they could make Foster that different and call it Willy's twin. Moreover, and I certainly can be in gross error, I have always understood the server version of INTC's CPU's were more capable than desktop versions rather than less so. I am wondering about ALL of these things because a Foster with a 400MHz FSB would suggest to me: (a) that they are going to again try to run DRDRAM (dual channel flavors) into the server market; or (b) that they know something about the timing of DDR-II's adoption that nobody else knows; or (c) that DDR-I is going to be "upwardly mobile" by some EE magic tricks, and produce iterations above a 266MHz rate; or (d) Willy, and thus Foster, will be late arriving to the party and won't appear in quantity until DDR-II is ready to feed them. Well I suppose these aren't mutually exclusive options, and there are probably others. But I can only worry about so much at one time. 0\|0
