Cirrus, Did you catch this quote from your post: Whatever the price of RDRAM over the next few quarters, it will have no bearing on the launch of Willamette, which will feature a 3.2-Gbyte/second interface between the processor, north bridge and DRAM. Intel's prime concern is not how RDRAM will affect the price of Willamette-based systems later this year, but whether high RDRAM prices will prevent Intel from quickly driving down the cost of the Willamette platform. "We can launch it today, even with the high [RDRAM] prices," Willy could be launched today? Scumbria

Meanwhile, after yesterday's alleged announcement of 68% (or whatever) cuts in RIMM prices from Kingston, pricewatch is showing two (2) vendors with 128 meg RIMMS below $599, at $560. One of them is even PC800, a Dallas place advertising Samsung parts that doesn't usually show up on the price leader board for mainstream memory , I wonder if they're grey market parts from Mikey? Last we heard, Mikey was skimping and putting in PC700, but maybe that's changed. Cheers, Dan.
