I haven't seen this posted yet (I may be wrong) Posted 05/04/2000 1:36pm by Mike Magee Intel's Garibaldi takes the Rambus biscuit Although the word on the street is that chipset manufacturers are scurrying to produce a motherboard for Intel's up-and-coming Willamette IA-32 processor, the firm's own offering will, as promised, support Rambus and its RIMMs. The boxed motherboard, codenamed Garibaldi, is slated to ship towards the end of this year and, according to roadmaps we have been shown, appears to be the only offering so far available to system builders and PC companies from Intel itself. Garibaldi, which will be based on the Intel Tehama chipset, will use Socket W, the special 432-pin socket for the Willamette processor. It will have 4x AGP connectivity, incorporate CNR and USB version 2.0, and will come in an ATX form factor, we can reveal. Intel said at its Developer Forum in February that while it wishes Willamette to use Rambus memory, the server and workstation version of this microprocessor, codenamed Foster, will use double data rate memory (DDR). Later, we will take an in depth look at Intel's server board strategy, and show its reliance (geddit?!) on ServerWorks chipsets. ©

Hi Jdassoc; Re Samsung having engineering samples of 288MB(sic) RDRAM and 256MB through 512MB RIMM modules. You wrote "They don't seem to be announcing any new products with PC133 or DDR memory." From the Samsung web site, 256Mb DDR chips and 1GB DDR DIMM modules are clearly shown, but RIMM modules stop at 512MB: intl.samsungsemi.com Click around on the above page. Here's the 256MB DDR DIMM product notice: intl.samsungsemi.com As I've stated many times before, Samsung is the leader in RDRAM, and has every reason to push the technology. But that doesn't mean that they are ignoring the obvious. They fully support DDR, but they have a lot of reason to put out press releases on RDRAM. -- Carl
