Cirrulvr,

According to one of the JC's sources ( jc-news.com ), the initial release of i820 will be SDRAM only! - with 2 DIMM SDRAM support - probably with DIMM headers. Intel boards with RDRAM configuration won't be out till late Q4.

IMHO, low speed grades of Coppermine systems with PC100 support with i820 will suck (performance will be bad when compared to BX). There won't be any real competition to Athlon systems this holiday season - in the retail high end PC segment. Another gift from Intel to AMD which is another plus for AMD this quarter :o)
