<I don't want to argue. We're both right. Yes, IMO the Camino is intended to replace the BX, but Intel also feels that the i810e is a mainstream, i.e., high volume mainstream platform also. That's the whole point of the "e"!!!!> Yup, no point arguing on that one. You guys are talking across each other. By the way, I think dumbmoney is on the money and your using "mainstream" sounds like a technicality than a real argument.

No, Intel certainly did plan to have a 133MHz platform this year, and this is not good news. However, I believe it became apparent that the market would not support Camino being "Mainstream" in the near term. Intel execs have said as much over the last few months. Clearly the 820 is not mainstream, but that's only because of the fateful decision to use Rambus. There's nothing "not mainstream" about the Camino feature set. By the way, what's up with the CC820 motherboards (the Camino boards that use SDRAM via the Memory Translator)? Have they shipped? They seem to have vanished into the night. Few people seem aware that they even exist. If you recall, this was supposed to be Intel's backup plan if Rambus didn't work out.
