Scumbria - RE: "Intel does u-turn on Willamette and synchronous DRAM" I wonder if they will support normal SDRAM through MTH + Tehama (Willy's DRDRAM chipset) or if they will use Foster's DDR chipset. My guess is the MTH (or it could be called MRH, as it is with the i840 chipset) solution. If they let DDR gain momentum in Intel PCs, DRDRAM may be completely wiped off the map in PCs, and Intel doesn't want that to happen. This is sure to put a cap on Willy's full performance potential, which may help AMD's chip better compete. Scumbria, if the Tehama chipset has two DRDRAM channels that effectively double bandwidth of DRDRAM from 1.6GB/s to 3.2GB/s and Intel goes the MTH/MRH route by allowing PC133 SDRAM to be used with Tehama, does that mean there will also be two SDRAM channels which double bandwidth from 1.06GB/s to 2.1GB/s?
