Bill, Re:"You feel they will build in 133 support from the getgo in the 810e but not announce and keep it as a reserve strategy in case the RAMBUS fails? So people will buy 810es and then implement them as 133 parts anyway maiking a split market for Intel. Unless Intel can disable the 133 capability until they alone need it. Sounds like Intel." The only difference between 133 and 100 is that you must test for it - when u test the chip. There is nothing to disable. Unlike the "secret" capability of celerons for multi-processing etc. The big oems will only sell the chip as tested and as marketed by Intel. The key is that in case of a Rambus disaster Intel will have plenty of 810e wafers and packaged product in WIP to manage and respond in a few weeks to a fiasco. And yes it does sound like Intel - unfortunately these guys are pretty good managers - don't underestimate them. regards, Kash
