It looks like it is true. Also, It looks like ACER will not field any DDR before the end of next year despite the chipset per rumor. So it looks like the window of opportunity for DDR to be on the Desktop is quickly closing with a whimper!

Follow the links and read the original articles. The quotes from the Yahoo poster are somewhat selective and the conclusions dubious. Not that I'd expect less from Jim. Cheers, Dan.

John - RE: "Is that DDR information true!?" I don't know how that person came to that conclusion, but I emailed Crucial (Micron's RAM-selling website) and asked - "Do you plan to start selling 128MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM (non-ECC) by the time DDR chipsets/motherboards hit the market?" Here's the reply - "YES. Everything is currently pre-production engineering samples presently. Thanks for your interest in Crucial's new DDR SDRAM modules. Due to quantity limitations, we are only able to provide DDR SDRAM to qualified hardware developers whose systems accept this new technology. At this time, we are unable to give you access to Crucial's DDR SDRAM purchasing page. As more DDR SDRAM modules and compatible hardware become available, we will be adding DDR SDRAM to our regular online purchasing process. Please check our site at crucial.com often to keep up on the latest developments with this exciting technology. If you are a hardware developer and feel you have received this message in error, please contact our DDR sales team at 888-363-2566 (US and Canada only) or 208-363-5790." Maybe Jim Kelly should find better "articles" on the yahoo thread before he gets over excited! jajajaja
