Dave, Another useful comparison is that designing for PCI is much harder than ISA (and probably VESA) yet PCI is the one that survived. John

Dave: I can't remember who brought up in future FCC requirements will be met by board mfg. not box sellers. PC133 will be much more difficult to pass FCC requirements than RDRAM solution. I would have to bet that much higher percentage of VIA based motherboards go into "white box" systems than branded systems. I can't deny that Intel has picked the right solution for memory. However, Intel doesn't control Ram chip mfgs. and box makers to a point where they tell them this is what were making take it or leave it. Intel would be leaving much more then the current 10-15% on the table if they didn't counter PC133 solution with their own solution over the next 12 months. I look for a PC133 chipsets ,at least a Camino MTH for PC133, a 815 chipset and a corresponding motherboard for Celeron, shipping by year end. They are now fighting not only AMD but the rest of Taiwain(ALI, VIA, Gigibyte, Supermicro,TYAN etc).
