<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.> Actually, I have been hearing similar stuff and since RMBS got a nice pop since I bought it. I am dumping it and moving money to AMD. I don't think RMBS is going anywhere and I think we may have very good upside on AMD.

Hi Goutama Sai Kantameni; I saw that report that only SDRAM was being supported by i820. I'm probably about as hated a Rambus bear as exists. (You should see what they say about me over on their little stinky hype thread!) But I kind of doubt that the i820 is coming out without RDRAM. In other words, I'm not buying this rumour. Of course, I wouldn't suggest buying RMBS, as their technology doesn't provide sufficient bang for the buck. Certainly the news from AMD today is not bullish for RMBS. -- Carl

Goutama - RE: "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." Yup. And with FLOPPERMINES still not on shelves, the Athlon doens't even have to worry about this competion until it arrives. That would be funny if, in retail, Athlon 750 systems came out before FLOPPERMINE 733 systems. AMD at 28 at close. Now to see how good Schwab's after hours quotes are. ;)
