Bilow,
And we still haven't seen any production VIA chipsets.

And what they said about volume production doesn't look good at all for VIA and DDR:

quoteserver.dogpile.com

quoted from article:
"Some brand-name OEMs will show demonstration systems at Comdex this fall, but they'll take the customary four to five months to test and qualify DDR chipsets for production systems. That means commercial PC OEMs will make their big DDR launch in mid-2001."

"He thought consumer-PC OEMs might miss the spring 2001 introduction for the back-to-school market and would make their big DDR push for the 2001 holiday selling season."

And to think that Micron demonstrated the Samurai at Fall Comdex...1999 and predicted DDR PCs in Q1 2000. LOL. All I can say is that for something that was supposed to be easy to do cause it was a brother, sister, cousin, whatever to SDRAM, it has proven much more difficult than RDRAM (and RDRAM only had Intel instead of those hundrends of design houses that you love to tell us about) and at least RDRAM is real. I wonder who's going to pay for all this big DDR R&D expense? The bashers? ;-)
