Celeron, PII, and PIII processors are all available in Slot1 format, and are plug compatible. I belive Coppermine is planned for the same format, and could plug in the same boards as the older processors if the motherboard was originally designed to a high enough speed specification. Thus any OEM who was planning a design using Camino and Coppermine, can ship it with a 550Mhz or soon 600MHz PIII processor, and see significant speed benefits over a BX or ZX system. The delay to Coppermine has absolutely no relevance to the adoption of Rambus. Ian

Chuck, What is your take on if Rambus is likely to be used with PIII before CuMine shows up? I'm not extremely familiar with the specifics of Camino or Coppermine pinouts. Does anyone know if Camino can connect to PIII? Anyway, the connection to DRAM is through the memory controller (Camino) rather than directly from the CPU. The CPU shouldn't care what type of memory it is ultimately connected to. The usage of DRDRAM on PIII systems will be tied to: 1. Can PIII connect to Camino? 2. When are Camino motherboards available? If both of these hurdles have been cleared before Coppermine, then we may see a few PIII/DRDRAM systems. The cost of DRDRAM will probably make them a specialty item however. Scumbria
