BILOW, Since when is using an editor to delete the RDRAM interface so difficult. It is never too late to delete a function. <LOL>

Carl, <If at the time Williamette really becomes available RIMMs are still pricey, their customers will demand SDRAM, and that will be delivered.> First of all, Willamette will initially be shipping in low volumes relative to the rest of Intel's production. So the first Willamette-based workstations will be rather expensive. Why castrate performance with SDRAM if the entire system is going to be expensive anyway? Second, Intel already has a dual-channel RDRAM chipset, the 840. Building the Tehama chipset off of 840 allows for very quick design turnaround. All Intel has to do is replace the P6 FSB with the Willamette/Foster FSB, which isn't that tough considering that both are similar to each other. And third, this is a minor point, but Willamette is not spelled "Williamette." And it's not pronounced "William-ette," either, but "Will-AM-ette". Tenchusatsu
