carl: It is plain as day why Intel is pushing back RDRAM computers. I am going to quote Intel support staff if my source. Ron K - 09:26pm Jan 2, 2000 GMT Hello Nagash. Thank you for posting your question here. As a general corporate policy the technical support staff does not comment on product(s) from competitors, give buying recommendations, or opinions on other companies? products. When new technologies are released, information concerning them can be accessed through URL developer.intel.com If you decide to use your existing memory on your new motherboard, I suggest checking that it is on the vendors tested memory list. The biggest single issue we continue to see with all of our motherboards is memory.
