Jimbo - Re: "If anything it's Intel that's hurting VIA with it's low numerated, non-Rambus chipsets aka i815 and i815e"
I know !
By the way, Acer - maker of those great DDR chips sets - has also chosen the Intel i815E for its own line of new PCs !!
"The Veriton FP2, utilizes Intel's newest 815E chipset with embedded audio, 10/100 ethernet, graphics and supports the latest Intel® Pentium® III processors. "
Some endorsement of their own chip sets !
