Well Burt,
the Intel thread is dying, I thought posting today's news here would get more coverage.

redherring.com
Basically an article saying even though Rambus doesn't work, it will work.

I think Chuck Mulloy summed up the situation clearly:
dailynews.yahoo.com

''The (820 chipset) did work, but under certain circumstances it didn't work,'' Mulloy told Reuters of tests involving the chip by PC makers. ''Under normal operation it worked fine, but it doesn't work right all the time.''

Intel is spending too much time worrying about AMD lately, and not worrying about Intel. I am invested in Intel long term, and I hope they notice soon enough the error of their current "state of mind".

Re: "That item is about a week old in its various forms. Same old same old. Certainly not good news, but problem appears to be board related, not chip related. Lots of discussion of this for the past few days on the Intel thread. But hey, if it makes you feel good, what the heck, post away."

It's not really Steve's fault. That press release keeps getting recirculated by the different news services over and over and over again. Like you said, same old same old.

Burt - RE: "Same old same old."

I guess you folks are getting used to Intel's continuous screw-ups and DELAYS! ;)
