Scumbria,
How is the P4 several years late? Intel never announced it and said it will be here in Q1 2000? Or Q2 2000? When they announced and put a date on the introduction of P4, it was October. If they miss the October intro, you are welcome to fry them.

On the other hand, DDR PCs have been announced and coming from Micron, VIA and others, for a very long time. They were supposed to be here in Q1 2000. Then Q2 2000. Then more announcements for Q3 2000. Now we have Q4 2000 but actually I doubt we'll see any volume production till Q2 to Q3 2001. So you can't compare the P4 to the hype of DDR PCs. I still remember through the last 8 months even the slightest DDR news was used here by the bashers to hype DDR and FUD RDRAM and say that it was just around the corner. I even remember last December the AMDroids and DDR fanatics saying "don't buy any PC, DDR PCs will be here in a couple of months". As you can see, DDR PCs have been hyped to death so the people that hyped them deserve all the reminders they can get. DDR has been , IMO, the biggest vaporware paper launch hyped product in tech history. And it is still not here and we still don't have the whole picture in why it has taken than long for something that was supposed to be easy to do and evolutionary to SDRAM. DDR and the R& D money spent on it from all these different places, pale by comparison to RDRAM. I wonder who's going to pay for all this excessive R & D. And we are not even done yet.
