Al Gore is as big a hoax as AMD's DDR launch. Fools love to be lied to I guess. Gore invented the AMD 760!

"Athlon DDR systems still not available" Why don't you give Micron a call?

BULLETIN: AMD 760 "BUG" REPORT PROBABLY UNFOUNDED From Dean Kent at Real World Technologies - News: Nov 2/00 ---------- After querying a few manufacturers, it appears that panic regarding the AMD 760 chipset, which was caused by a story run yesterday on The Register, might have been completely unfounded. Three large motherboard manufacturers who have announced products informed us that they have no information on any AMD 760 chipset problems. One mentioned that a new chipset revision was due out on Monday, Oct. 6, which fixes some heat related problems. Another mentioned that there were some AGP 4x issues that had to be worked out earlier, but there is no problem with this currently, as far as they are aware. Both Gigabyte and AMD have denied any reports of a bug, as reported on Tom's Hardware Guide yesterday. The manufacturers I spoke with today indicated that delays in availability are primarily due to issues related to supply of sufficient chipset, DDR modules and Athlon processors. It simply would not make sense to start shipping motherboards to customers who cannot get sufficient memory modules and processors to go with them. All three manufacturers indicated that interest in AMD 760 based boards is very high. realworldtech.com ---------------- Interest VERY high.. hmm.. cant say the same thing for a RDRAM board solution now can we? Then again.. you claim to own royalties on DDR.. so you guys should be just exploding with relief this story of faulty AMD-760 boards is apparently an exaggeration.
