Re: Intel had already begun sampling the new 800MHz chip, the company was forced to cancel the product following heavy lobbying against the new chip by computer manufacturers. In particular, OEMs contended that they were ill-prepared to integrate a new chip into their systems

Brian and Tony,

Ever hear of Rambus?

Dan

PS - If you don't get it, consider the degree of resistance likely to come from an incremental speed grade shipping vs. a horribly expensive and difficult to support royalty requiring memory type.

If Intel is willing to do its damnest to shove Rambus onto its OEMs, there is absolutely no way they would hesitate one single nanosecond to ship an incremental speed grade.

If they could yield the parts.

No way.

None.

Not any.

Nada.
