Re: <Intel has to agressively ramp up a new chip (that just saw final silicon) a new RDRAM chip set(that just saw final silicon), a new 0.18 micron process, and ramp all this including motherboards into production so end users can have systems by september!!!.>

That is very challenging but it is all under Intel's control and I think that they will do it. The riskiest part is the drdrams themselves which must come to mass production at reasonably low prices and get delivered to PC makers early enough for life testing before the boxes ship. This is beyond Intel's control except for the investments they've made in Micron and Samsung. Unless they have an sdram backup that they've kept quiet (and maybe they do have one) I'm surprised that they would run this risk.
