rE: "Technically, I'll repeat: BX upgrade to 133 FSB/ PC133, a killer that could be on the market any moment, if Intel felt like it. If they got any brains at all, and I think they do, the engineering's all done anyway" This is simply wrong Daniel. While I agree that it would be a good idea there would be an great deal of engineering work to do as such a speedup would require a process upgrade and all the issues associated with it. Still, I don't know why they haven't invested the resources to do it. EP

RE:"Technically, I'll repeat: BX upgrade to 133 FSB/ PC133, a killer that could be on the market any moment, if Intel felt like it. If they got any brains at all, and I think they do, the engineering's all done anyway, it has to be minimal compared to all the Rambus travail, and Intel's a big company that can easily afford a backup strategy. It wouldn't fix cumine production, of course. " Apparently, it isn't ready. The i815 isn't gonna happen for another couple months and it's just a souped up i810. Hard to believe Intel prematurely bet the farm on RAMBUS...a bigger blunder than the Floppermine launch, IMHO.
