More from the report: realworldtech.com

While VIA had hoped for a flawless introduction of the KT133 chipset (Socket A), the first run had some problems with memory timings when 3 DIMM slots were populated. This has been corrected in their second run, but has also caused some manufacturers to hold back on motherboard production. AMD had reportedly requested 500K chipset for June, but there are reports that the number was more likely 300K or less. July estimates indicate that VIA will again shoot for 500K units shipped.

Another confirmation of Via screw up negatively affecting AMD financial results. This virtual guerrilla strategy should be revisited at some point in the future.

Joe - Re: "? If the timing is right, Intel will be 3 quartes to 1 year behind AMD adopting DDR."

AMD may adopt DDR - but when are they going to ship a DDR chip set ?

There's quite a difference, you know.
