Jim, All Intel has are Foils.. and they won't run faster than 300mhz... unless intel tweaks their process... <gggg> Steve

So now this Pat Gelsinger has joined the ranks of Intel bullsitters? If they can launch Willamette today...why don't they? COme on Pat...where is the launch? A few bugs to work out?* Jim, I don't think Gelsinger is playing...they probably can get Willamette out fairly soon. You know Intel has got to be working as hard as they can to make it happen. Its something to be concerned about. Plus what do you think will happen to RDRAM prices when all the manu. start producing in volume? Do you think they will drop as much as Intel says? ted

<So now this Pat Gelsinger has joined the ranks of Intel bulls*itters? > Exactly right. They are running scared big time. If Willy is ready show us some benchmarks. Let's see few evaluation systems. Yields are fine, demand is great and Willy is out of this world. Meanwhile I hear that Floppers are failing consistently on these Bytemark binaries on both Windows and DOS. img.cmpnet.com - win98/95/NT4 img.cmpnet.com - dos32/dos4gw Apparently these binaries only work consistently for bus speeds bellow 75MHz. I don't own a Flopper to verify this, maybe someone else can? The other thing I hear is that the Flopper's power dissipation MAX is not what Intel is saying in their specs, but jumps well over 60W on some floating-point patterns. The plastic Flopper package may not like that, hmmm. Kap
