Hi Rich1; In response to Dan3, you wrote: "Hey Dan3 do you know what today is. It is July 5,2000. The date of VIA unequivocal committment to DDR is April 10, which is over 3 months ago and before this deal was made. Lets keep our facts honest and story straight. thank you. "

Actually, if you made it a habit of regularly following the news on DDR, you would have known that VIA repeated the same thing on June 28, 2000:

via.com.tw

The only reason for them repeating this is that a news report got out to the effect that VIA would consider using RDRAM if it were the last memory technology on earth. The somewhat overoptimistic RMBS bulls interpreted that to mean that VIA was planning RDRAM chips.

If you want VIA to put out another, similar, press release, you will have to wait until they have another unfounded rumor to combat. The industry knows where VIA's priorities are, they are looking at sample chips, and they know what VIA is going to be producing this year. Until another rumor starts flying, VIA will let this issue rest. What more could they say? RDRAM is dead, dead, dead, and the recent Intel i815 vs i820 benchmarks are not the last coffin nail. RDRAM as a technology for design engineers, died last November.

By the way, where is Sun's MAJC chip? Isn't it a couple weeks late already?

Or are they spinning it for DDR support?
