More DDR Problems

I hope someone rubs BILOW's nose in this pile of shit. After 12 months of babble about
common gerbers, compatibility, someone is finally testing the different DDR modules and
documenting the incompatibilities:

lostcircuits.com

"Nonetheless, one of the main reasons for the delay of DDR as the new industry standard
has been the fact that, for quite awhile, DIMMs that would run on the AMD platform
wouldn't function correctly on the ALi chipset, not to mention the late-comer VIA. The
probably best description of the situation came from Micron Technologies, where, some
three months ago, a spokesman of Crucial Technology hinted that out of 10 DDR
DIMM designs, about 4 would run on the ALi M1647, and 6 on the AMD 761 North
Bridge but that there was basically no overlap."

And this is a PRO-DDR article! I'm getting cynical about any decent revenue stream
from DDR royalties other than from Video Cards.
