Re: AMD would be more successful if it offered every choice... Let's see, AMD offered a limited quantity of the Irongate chipset to get Athlon off the ground and has been encouraging the chipset makers to design whatever they think will offer us, the customers the best combination of price and performance. So, for the Athlon, we have PC100 SDRAM being supported, PC 133, VC DRAM, DDR DRAM, ES DRAM, someday - if it ever looks like it makes any sense - DRDRAM. All with AMD's encouragement. Meanwhile Intel has sued VIA for shipping a PC133 chipset! Sued them for offering a performance improvement! Sued them for trying to place a competitive technology into the marketplace! Intel sued VIA for not going to DRDRAM as they were told to. KZNerd's bootheel comment is an accurate description of what is going on. Dan
