RE <<<Cirruslvr, Intel RAMBUS/motherboard screwup is still unknown to 90% of the investment universe -- the drop today is being blamed on Taiwan by the clueless>>>

I don't think that is true....its all over CNBC about rmbs and intc. In fact they blame mostly intc and rmbs for the Nasdaq's being down when it opened this AM.

Petz - RE: "Intel RAMBUS/motherboard screwup is still unknown to 90% of the investment universe -- the drop today is being blamed on Taiwan by the clueless media."

And articles like this one -

cbs.marketwatch.com

completely ignore the impact having to RE-build hundreds of thousands of systems will have on Intel. At least I assume on Intel. Intel should take the brunt of the loss because it isn't the OEMs fault Intel *again* supplied a chipset/platform that can't even run properly. (Remember the i810)

I guess News.com is the only one on target here. Either that or other agencies like Reuters are waiting for offical word from Intel.
