RE:"What I HOPE is that the 133 MHz setting was included for a different chip set that would drive 133 MHz SDRAM memory as well as the FSB of the Willamette."

That Tehama/motherboard chipset was made in 1999. Do you really think they were concerned about porting SDRAM and Willy at that time? That would have been a redesign before Intel figured out RAM was a BUST?

Re: Big Willy

Paul and Elmer,

Are you happy with Willy only supporting Rambus? Would you rather see SDRAM or DDR? Do you think DRDRAM prices will fall? If DRDRAM prices stay high, do you think that will hurt Willy and give Mustang an advantage? How do you think Intel views Rambus trying to collect royalties on DDR and SDRAM? I'm not trying to poke fun at Intel, so please give me your honest answers.
