<alpha is going for the top 2% market that i said might use rdram, right?> Did you say that? I didn't know you did. <does it support other dram alternatives like intel?> Don't know. The Alpha 21364 is like Timna in one aspect, which is the integrated DRDRAM controller onto the processor die. That's something that's already set in stone this late into the development cycle, and not something that can change with the chipset. You can use SDRAM with such processors if you use an SDRAM-to-DRDRAM bridge like Intel's MTH component. But any memory that is connected to the Alpha 21364 or Timna must look, walk, and talk like DRDRAM, even if it is "SDRAM in disguise." <are you saying that piii outsells celerons and piis? of the whole celeron, pii and piii pie, what % do you believe are piii sales?> I must admit, I don't have exact statistics, so anything I say will be just as valid as anything you say. My guess is 55% Pentium II/III (13.75M), 40% Celeron (10M), and 5% Xeon (1.25M). Average selling price would be around $250, which is incidentally the price of the Pentium III 450 MHz, the current sweet spot. Tenchusatsu
