Hi all; Register publishes a list of board makers for three Intel chipsets: 810e Boards (26 makers) YHI SuperMicro Proteam Microstar Jetway Gainward Epox Biostar Asus PC Partner Transcend Shuttle Kinpo GVC Fastfame DFI A-Trend Zida SYE Procomp Legend/QDI Iwill FIC ECS Luckystar 815e Boards (30 makers) Abit Tyan Quanta Soltek Microstar Kinpo GVC Gainward Epox DFI Biostar Acer Open Mitac Proteam Luckystar Iwill Gigabyte Fastfame ECS Chaintech Tekram Procomp Shuttle Maxtion Jetway Asus GVC FIC Delta 820e Boards (17 makers) Microstar FIC Chaintech Abit Supermicro Gigabyte DFI Acer Open Asus ECS Epox Intel Tekram Legend Iwill Epox theregister.co.uk This is just the desktop/workstation market, the i840 isn't included. But it is of interest to see what kind volume product development is going into RDRAM. Out of the 73 motherboards, 17 support RDRAM, or 23%. Intel has something less than 50% of the market for Intel compatible chipsets, and no other company is making (or is even seriously rumored to be planning) an RDRAM desktop chipset. So something like 11% of Intel's desktop motherboard types will likely be RDRAM compatible. (This is not to say that 11% of Intel's desktop machines will go out with RDRAM. It could be more, it could be less, depending on production amounts.) In any case, this vividly illustrates the interest of the motherboard community in alternatives to RDRAM memory. -- Carl
