Re: But it also shows that main memory is PC100...

The 810 series doesn't support rambus, the 820 and 840 do. The third slide clearly shows 133MHZ support - they call it "flexible. We know from the overclockers the many of the 100MHZ chipsets already run fine at 133 anyway. PC133 is the same price as PC100 from some sources, if they don't support it, they risk losing substantial market share to those who do. It's pretty obvious that Intel will be directly supporting PC133 in the 810e, in early Q3 of this year, but they are referring to it as "flexible 133" instead of PC133.

They can still change their minds until there is a formal announcement, but these slides clearly are calling for Intel direct support of PC133 within 2 months.

They still haven't moved to DDR or VC-DRAM yet, but PC133 seems to be a done deal.
