Goutama, <... With the delay of Intel's 820 chipset, scrappy Via technologies is finding itself rapidly growing in popularity among computer makers.> I am sure! The ultimate would be if Intel does a motherboard with a VIA chipset. <... IBM will announce tomorrow that it is using chipsets from Taiwan-based Via for three new systems in the wake of the delay of the 820 chipset, sources at IBM said. Today, Micron Electronics said it is incorporating Via products into its boxes for the first time. > Contrary to what the press reports seem to indicate, I do not believe either IBM or the Micron design wins are a result of Camino delay. VIA has been winning designs quitely for a while now - Camino delay is probably providing OEMs a good cover to go against Intel without raising its wrath. Chuck
