Re: "That the motherboard manufacturers had to do a little engineering on the first boards is just not an issue." Oh, it's an issue all right !! When Sanders has to "blame" the lack of proper infrastructure support for the slow ramp up of DDR (Delayed DRAM Ramp)-enabled Motherboards. Just think - what if all the AMD hot shots DROP their orders for ThumperTurds with SDRAMs/VIA chip sets and wait a couple of months for the DDR patches to to be implemented? ThumperTurd sales just may come to a screeching halt ! AMD just might be pulling an Osborne here !

Re: "Did Intel have the foresight to use enough gold contacts in their 820/840 motherboards to keep them attractive to scrap dealers? " These are excellent boards !! And the Pricewatch listing for RDRAMS has 128 MBYTE/800 MHz RDAM modules selling for only $115 !!! That's what PC133 SDRAM modules were selling for just a few months ago. By the way - I couldn't find and DDR memory available on Pricewatch.com !! You don't think that is significant - do you? I mean - what good is a DDR chip set - with associated GLITCH REDUCTION PATCHES - with no DDR memory to plug in?
