Don, <The first chipset from Intel Corp. to support PC133 SDRAM will be the Solano, an upgraded device from within the Intel 810 chipset family> I've always said that if any Intel chipset is going to support PC133 SDRAM, it should be a proliferation of the 810e. Right now, the 810e has a PC100 SDRAM channel which is being shared by both a 133 MHz FSB and an integrated graphics controller running a lot of stuff out of main memory. That chipset right now is very starved for memory bandwidth. Tenchusatsu

Don: 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> Here is Intel saying Rambus will have a big time lead. Camino is ready now & I'm sure Rambus isn't sitting still, ( not sometime later in 2000 ). 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. I love this one. Intel has Camino ready now. Only said to be this or that above is interesting. If Intel made the above statement about Rambus, just picture what the article above would sound like. Now, the question is, is Intel backing away from Rambus or just playing the market while backing Rambus. So far, every damn time they are asked they back Rambus big time. -----Original Message
