*Re: Gene Parrott, "their Press release show's differently. But who know's, maybe they changed their minds already. What do you think?"* AMD will support whatever the memory industry pushes, whatever the consumer will support. Since that is DDR, they're supporting DDR. Continues to amaze me that there are still RMBS longs in denial about DDR being the new memory standard. Just look at the ALI chipset/Iwill mobo Japanese news from today. Here's a DDR motherboard in use with an Athlon 800, outperforming the respectable Microstar 133 board (w/ same CPU of course) in Quake by 14%. In other benchmarks DDR outperformed by 65% avg. DDR is here, and this 14% better Quake performance is real and significant, outperforming equal RMBS-based systems by far. And as a reminder, this 14% gain is with ALI's DDR chipset (ALI isn't historically the greatest by any means) and on a pre-production Iwill motherboard, using only PC200 DDR memory. Once things get fine tuned and we see AMD's 760 chipset with PC266 DDR on maybe an ASUS or ABIT board the performance will likely be even greater. Henry nts.mine.nu
