Dave, did you major in sophistry? Intel dominates the PC business and announces that they are only going to support Rambus with their chips and you call that giving the dram makers a choice because they are allowed to hold out and hope that Rambus turns out to be so bad that it doesn't work at all?

(VCM is Virtual Channel Memory AKA VC-DRAM) via.com.tw Further exploiting the AMD Athlon processor's performance potential, the VIA Apollo KX133 chipset provides the extra benefit of a 100/133Mhz memory interface. Cost-effective and widely available PC133 SDRAM and VCM memory types boost the AMD Athlon and AGP4x computing capabilities via enhanced throughput to CPU and AGP buses. Dan
