Steve:
Intel has cancelled all but one of the motherboards that use RDRAM"
I also found that both the long delayed but recently available VC820 and OR840 motherboardshave disappeared from the channel when I checked last night. Estimated delivery dates for more product is not given which tells me it is impossible when to expect more product.
You may not like DAN3 but his statement about RDRAM Intel motherboards appears to be correct. Gigabyte, ASUS, and FIC don't appear to be supporting RDRAM either.
My opinion that I stated last night is that Toshiba signed new license with RMBS because in the future they need to supply SONY with next generation QRSL, Quad speed Rambus signaling level, IP products. No other DRAM supplier faces the similar dilemna IMO.

Steve,

Willamette is at a lot of beta sites now and it is using RDRAM and it is running at full speed. These guys are full of it.

Re: Have Intel really cancelled the Willamette chipsets that were announced in Feb...

No, not at all. But Willamette isn't out yet. I was referring to shipping chipset/motherboard combos. The mainstream 820 boards appear to have been replaced by the 815e. So it looks like the only remaining current platform for Rambus is 840 based motherboards from Intel. That's not a big piece of the market.

But you are right, I was being dramatic.

:-)

Regards,

Dan
