John, <Intel faces another 820 chip set snafu> This is much ado about nothing. So the 820 chipset won't accept substandard SDRAM DIMMs. Intel is saying this is a problem with the DIMMs themselves, while at least one guy is saying it's an Intel problem because those substandard DIMMs can indeed run in other chipsets. This is just a minor flap, easily fixable by either increasing standards for DIMMs, or revising the BIOS in 820 chipsets. But from the title of the article, "Intel faces another 820 chipset snafu," you'd think this was yet another major fiasco like what happened last September with RDRAM. And that's not the case at all. I'd normally see headlines like this in the YUK Register, not in PC Week. Tenchusatsu
