KZNerd,

Re" This sounds like the actions of a monopolist dictating to the market. But to force 600 MHz Rambus down the throats of box makers who don't want Rambus in the first place will just make Coppermine less appealing. Just what Intel needs with K7 looking good. In fact, this makes even K6 look better!"

The whole thing was bizarre and taken another surreal turn by them allegedly not even supporting 800Mhz on the desktop Coppermines. (I understand the 840 supports the Xeon replacement.)

They must have a regular old 133 SDRAM option as their back up and thats the rabbit I expect out of the hat.

It's going to be fun watching Intel squirming their way thru the RAMBUST scenarios.

Regards,

Kash

Sad but true. Intel needs a kick in the pants, and they might just get one.
