Scumbria, You have been unable to explain why the i815 and PC133 are showing up so strong against a 50% faster FSB and memory. PC133 beats DDR in some benchmarks and runs neck and neck in others yet is handicapped by a 50% slower FSB and memory. That proves that DDR PCs are DOA (not even mentioning the DDR stick incompatibility for the moment or the fact that DDR PCs are not even going to be in volume production for name brand OEMs). These are all major major sticking points for DDR. They are actually PR disaster points. DDR is not only slow, not only expensive, not only in not volume production, but sticks maybe incompatible between different mobos and chipsets. Nobody in their right mind will buy this junk especially since is not even going to coming from any name brand OEMs who usually test the whole setup. It is looking more and more like a big PR disaster and I can see why AMD is so worried (it could also explain why AMD is hitting new lows today, down to 26 13/16 right now).
