Another DDR initiative. Is intel's fumbling of RAMBUS technology giving a boost to DDR? I suspect, it's one of the Athlon effects too ;-) Micron contemplates DDR chipset licensing program ebnews.com Hoping to stimulate sales of higher-speed memory, Micron Technology Inc. said it may put its double-data-rate, SDRAM-enabled Samurai chipset out for license to accelerate the market's adoption of PC266 DDR devices. Dean Klein, vice president of the integrated-products group at Boise, Idaho-based Micron, said the company?isn't in the chipset business, but [wants] to enable the early penetration of DDR memory into the market.?

None of the five are at 550 MHz or 650 MHz. So Compaq most have more models. IBM was also advertising its Athlon based systems. Mani

Goutama, <However, at least one PC maker, HP, said that, in an effort to stabilize its product offerings, the company is launching just one Coppermine-based platform.

HP is smart. They are not taking a big risk on the Christmas season! And I like the "not yet" comment about Athlon better than "no". Chuck
