Chuck - RE: "I saw some bandwidth calculations a while back suggesting that AGP-4 cannot be supported with PC100 and can be barely supported with PC133." Check out this post I made on the Intel thread in early June - (Focus on the middle and bottom) Message 9911301 I think PC133 brings along 1066 MB/s, and Tom says PC100 is 800MB/s and AGP4X is 1000MB/s. "I think PC133 is just a warmup round to what is likely to happen in the future" At first, I thought you could just use PC133 with Camino and that RDRAM wouldn't be available in mass quantities until the beginning of next year, but if Intel says PC133 support may be in chipsets beginning in Q1 '00 and if Intel gives PC133 the green light, OEMs will be using PC133 for quite some time next year until RDRAM prices decrease and supplies increase a lot. And if bigger RDRAM testers aren't available until the end of this year or the beginning of next year (according to some article posted here) PC133 will have a longer life than I anticipated.
