RE:"I have no doubt Intel is developing DDR chipsets for CuMine and Willy." Our friends Paul Otellini and Louis Burns are lying? Wait 'till RAMBUST finds out. <G> I suppose Intel is waiting to the last minute to spring the news. That way they can say they tried to fulfill their written agreement with Rambus to do the best they can to push RAMBUST. Then the lawsuits come...after Intel leaves Rambus waiting at the altar. Jim

Re: "Performance improvement of TBird is underwhelming, but I'm not sure KT133 is to blame. Most benchmarks have been for games where most of the instructions/data fit in the L1 cache anyway. Scumbria predicted TBird would not be much faster than classic" Interesting to note that you can say this and not get attacked. EP

AMD had better be helping ALi and SiS big-time. There's nothing better than competition to improve products. Chipsets seem like a funny business, it's a low margin operation compared to CPUs, and a good chipset can't cover for a bad cpu, but a bad chipset can sure mess up a good cpu. Of course, AMD should be doing its best to help all the chipset makers, including Via. That's probably not enough, though. First of all, AMD should make sure that its own chipsets get out, and are capable of doing the job. Push comes to shove, you can't count on anybody else.
