Pat: 5 years was the life of the agreements (NEC and Hitachi), per G. Tate at cc. The con-artists on this thread had many thinking that the jv (effective 12/31/00) would somehow usurp this contractual responsibility for each parent (NEC and Hitachi) and would not sign its' own. BP

From the mouth of Carla's bed mate, Dr. Tom (the cigarette smoking purveyor of uberclocked chips and herbalistic remedies): <<Basically , Almador is the badly needed chipset to support the new advanced Pentium III processor with the 'Tualatin' core. It supplies the new clock, voltage and bus specs and will obviously be released together with 'Tualatin' within the next 9 months. The most important issue with 'Almador' however is the memory support. What we do know for certain is the fact that this future Pentium III platform will NOT support the dreaded RDRAM memory. The roadmap states that 'Almador' will run with PC133 SDRAM memory, but everybody at the right state of mind will realize that PC133 will be more than old news in Q3/2001 when AMD-platforms will benefit from the much faster DDR-SDRAM for almost a year already. Therefore it seems a pretty safe guess that 'Almador' will support DDR-SDRAM as well, which might not be admitted in Intel's current roadmaps because Intel has still got this unholy deal with Rambus, the company that pretty much hates DDR-SDRAM memory.>> tomshardware.com My favorite laugh: "Therefore it seems a pretty safe guess that 'Almador' will support DDR-SDRAM as well!!" ROTFLMAO!!! And I suppose he also has herbal enemas to sell from his site! Dr. of Physik is he!!! LOL.. BP
