Hi all; More on Compaq replacement of i820 (RDRAM) with i815 (SDRAM):

Compaq cuts costs by standardizing on Intel Corp.'s (Nasdaq:INTC - news) 815 chip set for the new DeskPro. The chip set's flexibility allows Compaq to offer PC models ranging from an entry-level Celeron-based desktop to a high-end minitower with a beefy hard drive and Intel's 933MHz or 1GHz Pentium III chip.

Hi all; Compaq quietly drops RDRAM from their entire Desktop line. This is a reply to a post I made on Sep 4, noting that Compaq's only desktop machines with RDRAM were the Deskpro series: #reply-14326149. In that post I noted that the RDRAM machines appeared to be on the way out, as only lower CPU speeds were available in the 820 chipset. That process has completed, and Compaq has now scrubbed RDRAM out of their desktop line up:

Now RDRAM at Compaq is relegated to machines classified as "workstations":

Given that the 820 is very likely going to quit production in the next two months, this means that the 840 will be the only chipset supporting RDRAM on the PIII.

P.S. Typically, one of the replies to the Sep 4 post was from a thread moron: poof! you are ignored. Hey, I can get "unignored", but you're stuck being a moron! LOL!!!
