Steve,

Intel reportedly is using its Almador chipset to test and validate core-logic interfaces for DDR memory. Almador is slated to be unveiled possibly as early as the first quarter of 2001 to support the upgraded 1.3-GHz Pentium III, code-named Tualatin.

Intel is developing Almador to support both single-data-rate (SDR) and DDR SDRAM, said Bert McComas, an analyst at InQuest Research Inc., Gilbert, Ariz.

Sounds like PIII/SDRAM/DDR will be Intel's mainstream product for some time to come.

Steve,
Where u getting this $16 billion figure from?

From here:
msnbc.com

"The Navy overestimated by 30 percent or more the cost of the contract, expecting it to be as high as $2 billion a year, Daniel Porter, the Navy’s chief information officer, told Reuters. At that rate, the five-year contract, with an option to extend for three more years, could have been worth up to $16 billion, the figure cited in many accounts of the deal."
