DDR 266 is a sham From Goaltender on the Fool AMD "met" its September/October deadline by "announcing" that 266 DDR was ready. MicronPc started taking orders. But those who tried to order were told they would have to wait 56 days. Now we are told the PC board has to be redesigned. Notice that "the problem was finally nailed down Tuesday" quote. Thus MicronPc and AMD knew there was a problem. They just didn't know what the problem was, so they announced a shipping delay. Was not AMD pretending to build 760/266 DDR systems? And MicronPc pretending to sell them? For the purpose of making it look like DDR was not stalled dead in the water? Well, this message may get yanked again, but I can't put it much politer than that. This was not a recall, or a delay or a glitch. This was a sham, pretending that 266 DDR was commerically available. It's not. Since I like to think I'm a good guy, I'd like to help Micron and AMD. I will now pretend to own a 266Mhz DDR PC. It keeps the logic clean from pretend builder through pretend seller and now pretend user...Pete/Goaltender95
