From your beloved ebnews article you pointed me at Gelsinger last week, however, said, “This runs counter to Intel's stance at the last IDF six months ago, when Direct RDRAM was positioned as the only feasible memory for the Pentium 4. Intel executives at the time said PC133 SDRAM with a peak 1-GHz/s data rate was a mismatch for the 3.2-GHz/s capability of the new IA-32 Pentium chip.

For many price points, PC133 SDRAM can still offer performance benefits with Pentium 4. The high cache memory [included] with Pentium 4 ameliorates the [data rate] difference with SDRAMs. It makes a slow memory look fast.”


Yet right here on this thread, here is what Tench said in the spring: Just to clarify, the version of Willamette that is going into servers is called Foster. And Intel is supporting DDR SDRAM for Foster-based servers

If you only use the web as your source of news, you should take advantage of the fact that there is a knowledgeable Intel employee on this thread and listen to him rather than the press.
