Pravin, re: <I do not expect VIA to introduce KX266 until Q2 next year for the Athlon.> AMD may come out AMD76X chipset with PC2100, AGP 4X, DVD support before VIA does :o) Regards, Goutama

Pravin, <Micron is already demonstrating DDR for PIII. They will use their custom DDR chipsets to gain advantage over others (Dell) using Camino and DRDRAM.> As I already said before, Micron's plans for their DDR north bridge are still cloudy. They already have working silicon and validation platforms for demonstratiion. But I'm not sure about other things, like who's going to manufacture the chipsets, who's going to use them, when they'll be released, what the volumes will be, etc. For example, for years Micron has always had a sort of "Samurai" chipset which came in various flavors. Yet I've seen "Samurai chipsets" appear in a very small handful of PCs in the past. Will Micron expand the DDR version of Samurai to bigger volumes and more widespread acceptance than before? I don't know. Tenchusatsu
