Dan, > Acer Labs schedules launch of DDR chipset for AMD's Athlon ebns.com Perhaps some good news on the chipset front. Though Ali seems to have fallen off the map of late, I think they've had some decent stuff in the past. At least they're doing Athlon support first, unlike Via. Thanks for posting it. ALI's Athlon chipset has many nice features. Hope it comes out on time. All we need now are some good performance marks with this chipset. If this chipset is successful, it will put considerable pressure on VIA wrt AMD chipsets. For some reason, I'd like to see ALI to be successful with its Athlon chipset, and VIA move completely into the fold of Intel. With its ever increasing cash reserves, I believe AMD should start allocating more resources on in-house chipset design efforts. Goutama .

Re: "That has now been accomplished and ALI plans on July 26 to unveil the Athlon DDR chipset, which it claims is the first such chipset for notebook computers" If that article is correct, the ALI DDR chip set will be completely worthless for 3 or 4 (or more) months !!! "the Athlon DDR chipset, which it claims is the first such chipset for notebook computers" Now - who wants a 50 - 60 watt AThlon Mobile Notebook computer ? Maybe the chip set will have to wait for a low power AThWiper CPU.
