Hi mishedlo; VIA did not announce a delay in DDR until next year. They announced that their second generation DDR would be available in 2H01. Their first generation parts are for this year.

VIA Technologies, Inc, the world's leading fabless supplier of PC core logic chipsets, microprocessors, and multimedia and communications chips, today unveiled its advanced new scaleable HDIT (High-Bandwidth Differential Interconnect) Architecture for its next generation of VIA Apollo DDR chipsets.

What part of "next generation of VIA Apollo DDR chipsets" is so confusing to you guys? If their is a next generation of "VIA Apollo DDR chipsets", then surely there is a current generation. At least that is how I interpret their most recent press release, and I don't see any other realistic way to interpret it.

VIA still has this up on their website, don't you think they'd have taken it down if they were adding a year of delay?:

VIA will be producing performance and integrated DDR chipsets for both VIA Cyrix® III/Intel® Pentium® III and AMD Athlon processors starting in 2H 2000.

Here's a Q & A from VIA, still on their website:

When will VIA have DDR chipsets?
VIA will have DDR chipsets in 2H 2000.

This thread has seen nothing but rumor after unsubstantiated false rumor about VIA having problems with DDR. VIA first demonstrated a DDR board in 1997, why are you guys so gullible as to believe that they aren't going to come up with chipsets this summer? If you simply read their press releases without having the Rambus Blinders over your eyes it is quite clear.
