Don,

You beat me to it.

As one observer rather pithily put it to us: "Once Intel releases a CPU with no cross-licencing of its intellectual property on the bus, gee, like maybe quad-pumped, we're f*****".

Don, re: <It is widely expected that when Willamette arrives later this year, hopeful third party chipset manufacturers will be prevented from access to its bus technology, and that means only Intel chipsets will be available to support its up-and-coming IA-32 AMD buster. >

I also wonder what the impact will be on third party mother board makers?
How many PC makers will accept Willamette/Tehema/Rambus mobo's from sources other than Intel?
Lot's of implication's here. Taiwan must be shaking in it's boot's. <g>
