Andy,
RE:'Since you work with chip sets, could I ask you a question. I have been wondering why, with so much riding on a successful launch of P4, Intel did not design two different chip sets for it."

This shows tremendous arrogance on Intels part...and stupidity.
I'm not Tench, obviously, but Intel signed an agreement with Rambus to promote Rambus as it's "favored" memory. Intel managent obviously thought they didn't need a DDR or SDRAM chipset for Willamette. I also still think a lot of these decisions were made with cornering the market and profit in mind rather than customers wants and needs.
Intel has lose tremendous credibility at setting standards because of this.
Also, Intel has a history of NOT adopting other parties technologies and tying themselves up. Apples firewire being one, Intel opting for USB-1 and USB-2. They always were the leader. For some strange reason they were bamboozled by Rambus...hummm
