Pravin, Re:"820 and Intel" Clearly this whole 820 situation is a major boon to AMD. Once Intel has stopped flubbing the Coppermine issues (buggermine per JC sounds better) they face a second major fiasco. The VC820 with DRDRAM allows coppermines to perform close to AMD although requiring $200-400 of extra cost RDRAM. The CC820 and PC100 SDRAM are handicapped deliberately to perform slowly ro make the rambus look good. And finally whenever windows 2000 shows up who doubts that this bloatware won't require 256M of main memory to shine. Seems like Intel is completely clueless on these issues. Solano its PC133 version is due Q1 2000 and will see volumes in Q2 2000. AMD just has an incredible opportunity to kick ass. The denial over on the Intel thread is amazing, reminds of the Rambus thread from a few months ago. Seems to me that Barret is not running a tight ship and while they are off putting up "internet server farms" they have forgotten about the fundamentals of their biz - Mhz sells, and deliver the customer the best technology at the best price. This loss of Intel focus and poor execution is the best news for AMD in a long time. regards, Kash
