<Chuck - re: Isn't the PC100 hedge sufficient for Intel? I fail to understand the risk that you and Kash talk about. What does PC133 buy over PC100 at the system level (looking for some estimates) and how would that change the positioning of PIII/CuMine? Can you elaborate?> Chuck, My understanding is (correct me if I am wrong) that Camino does not support PC100 directly. It will require a converter chip to support PC100 or PC133, which makes it a high latency and high cost solution comparing to a straight PC133 chipset. In addition if RDRAM fails to become the next memory standard, then Intel would have wasted billions in development and investment costs. Kap.
