Richard,

That's not much of a surprise.. at least for me.. apparently there are lots of buglets with willamette. And it really isn't surprising considering Intel is trying to do something that all the expert *coughonsicough* said would be impossible ;)

Regards,

Steve

Richard,

<Somebody is finally saying something about Willamette, and it ain't pretty.
fullon3d.com

FullOn3D: Can you tell us the specifications of Williamette and when it will be released?
Intel: Willamette will be a IA-32 product targeted for the desktop, to be launched in late 00 or early 01. It will have a new microarchitecture and we are targeting speeds of 1 GHz and above.

Looks like Athlon will be in the race by itself until at least year 2001.>

There are some nasty rumors floating around about Wilamette!!

Richard, from the article:

FullOn3D: Under what conditions will Intel support PC133?

Intel: We don't support PC133 in future products. Can't share
conditions but obviously we keep our eyes open.

Incidently, in
intel.com
the support for 133 is named as main feature for 2H99!

They all are liars.
