Scumbria,

It's interesting that Via still has the best chipset for Intel platform. Well, Via probably has the best chipset for Athlon platform as well.

Speaking of Via, their web site has a link to the latest RDRAM articles on Tom's site: via.com.tw

Scumbria,

<It is not surprising that Intel has crippled the 815. If the 815 delivered reasonable performance, the Rambus alliance would go down in flames.>

You didn't believe the firing squad review on Athlon. Why do you want to trust this review?

Scumbria,

You give Intel more credit than it may deserve, by implying that they did this with a plan.

Scumbria, <It is not surprising that Intel has crippled the 815.>

That's funny. Tom Pabst, the "man on a mission" to personally create the downfall of evil Rambus, reviewed an early 815 motherboard, and found performance to be slightly better than that of the Via Apollo Pro 133A:

Of course, for all you conspiracy theory buffs, there's still enough time to cripple the performance of 815 between now and the June release.
