Three Intel mobos scrapped because of chipset probs theregister.co.uk Meanwhile, the ever cheeky Register reports more trouble in the, er, opposition camp. Intel is also scrapping three server motherboards based on the i820 and i840 chipsets, according to the inside documents, which were supposed to launch in the next couple of weeks. These, apparently, are called Pine, Hemlock and Willow and are server motherboards. Lancewood may be re-worked to support Coppermine processors. The memory translators for these chipsets do not work as well as Intel wanted. The chip giant could have redesigned the mobos, but instead has decided to recall the whole caboodle. But who will drink the Hemlock over this one? It's hard to sort out Intel's problems, but among the Rambus fiasco, the cumine production problems, and the i820 stumbles, the lack of a good, clean chipset solution ala the BX is probably the biggest headache right now. Of course, that is related to the Rambus fiasco, too. What were they thinking? Cheers, Dan.
