Charles,
re"Does this rule out the 2-slot version even for benchmarks?"

I believe it does.

intel.com

"Intel also said that it has delayed the introduction of its Intel® 820 Chipset due to platform validation issues that may result in memory errors. Intel is working to identify and validate solutions to these issues and will introduce this chipset after they have been resolved"

Didn't we read somewhere that plugging the 3rd slot or leaving it empty didn't help?

I would think they will fix the problem before they introduce new boards with two slots that work as a stopgap measure. I don't think Intel wants to appear desperate "again".

1 week or 1 month or 90 days. who knows, but I think a solution will be found within 1 week and product shipping end of October. WAG
