Ali,
And DDR systems where never supposed to be 2 DIMMs if you'd listened to the bashers hype. I remember as early on that topic that the bashers were making the point that they will have 3 and 4 DIMMs. So now it "comes down to 2 slots" but to the bashers is not a big deal. What a bunch of hypocrites.

And BTW, DDR with I not even 1,2,3 or 4 has yet to prove stable. If anything, it has been delayed so much because in fact "it is unstable". So don't talk to me like even a 2 DIMM DDR system is stable. Unlike RDRAM systems that have proven themselves for more than a year, the only thing that we hear about DDR, is how unstable it is, timing issues that are very tight that cause instability, stick compatibilities and that "the ALi chipset is absolute crap", meaning unstable. So don't talk to me about any DDR system till it's proven that are stable. And that will not happen until the name brand OEM volume pushers put their name and reputation on the line. And from what VIA said, that will be late fall 2001 if ever.

"The problem is that the Intel/Rambus coalition
was forced to REMOVE the third RIMM slot due to
inherent Rambus memory INSTABILITY on a long bus"

Not true. It was only the intel mb implementation that was affected. I820 chipsets were released on non intel mb's with more than 2 RDRAM slots. Not an inherent RDRAM problem, but a prob with intels mobo.
