Intel's Solano chipset to take on PC133 SDRAM in January By Jack Robertson Electronic Buyers' News (11/03/99, 05:10:50 PM EDT) The first chipset from Intel Corp. to support PC133 SDRAM will be the Solano, an upgraded device from within the Intel 810 chipset family that will debut in January-not a new chipset code-named Amador, as has been widely rumored on Wall Street, sources close to the matter said today. Separately, Intel will formally introduce the Camino, or Intel 820, chipset Nov. 15, offering support for Direct Rambus DRAM in desktop PC platforms. The company confirmed that the rescheduled launch will include only a two-socket RIMM memory module configuration, instead of the three-socket version that triggered the chipset's latest delay in September. Camino will support PC100 SDRAM-not PC133-but only by using an extra Memory Translator Hub on the motherboard. It will be left to the Solano to add a PC133 interface to the memory subsystem; the chipset also will include a 133-MHZ front-side bus that supports both Celeron and Pentium processors. Industry sources said Intel has accelerated the Solano introduction by several months to meet demand for the new, faster SDRAM interface. Additionally, in the wake of its recent decision to support all major memory architectures coming into next year's market, Intel is said to be developing a full-blown PC133 chipset that will support an external graphics card, AGP 4X graphics port, and frame buffer memory up to 32 Mbytes-and eventually 54 Mbytes-in density. The faster AGP 4X port is included in the rival Apollo Pro133 chipset now being sold by Taiwan-based independent chipset vendor Via Technologies Inc. It wasn't known if the follow-on PC133-enabled chipset is the rumored Amador, although the device isn't expected to be ready until much later in 2000. Yet another upcoming Intel chipset will support double-data-rate PC266 SDRAM for servers, but sources said the product won't be unveiled until early in jdaasoc, thanks 2001.http://www.ebns.com/story/OEG19991103S0057

Yo Glen, Unclewest and Glenda appear to have capitulated as you were congratulating them on telling it like is--I do think that when you are pumping a stock as they were, there is somewhat a matter of personal integrity or honor that calls for them to inform the thread on their "change of heart" --notwithstanding that everyone should do their own due diligence. So much for their "calling it as it is". I would also like to commend Don Green on probably the most objective posting on this thread. I am a long time Rambus holder and I must admit that the "proof is in the pudding" and Don has been very accurate in his posting (even though I disagreed with him and have left much on the table). Rambus will do just fine. I am somewhat encouraged by the recent capitulation of some of the most ardent bulls. The short term is uncertain but long term Rambus will reward much in the same manner as QCOM.
