tejek, I wonder why Intel is including RDRAM built into their Camino motherboards? 1. The RDRAM is matched to the board to make sure it is stable to avoid the errors on floating point computations found by c'T magazine and Dell's testing 2. No one else can find any RDRAM 3. The buyer of these motherboards, who wants to expand memory, will have to my a matched RDRAM module from Intel to guarantee stability -- lots of future profits for Intel 4. Only Intel knows which brands and types (two sided, one sided, etc) of RDRAM actually work with the motherboard 5. Intel is afraid of liability lawsuits from people who try to remove a RIMM module with their bare hands, burning themselves. Any or all of these reasons may be behind this ridiculous promotion. All of them are good reasons to avoid the Camino. Petz
