Cirruslvr, <Then the majority of 133MHz FSB Athlons will continue to gather dust until the beginning of next year at the earliest. > Given what we know about 760 initial problems with DDR266, I share this assessment. <I agree that KT133A will be the volume chipset. DDR platform is just too expensive or unreliable at 133MHz fsb.> I am not concerned about reliability aspect since that apparently got fixed. The main reason I do not think it will be big is because of costs. The motherboards and memory are both expensive and that should limit the volumes. <There is that possibility AMD has hit the ceiling with Thunderbird on a .18 process. > My data points suggest otherwise but I am not going to argue on that one. The bottom line is there is no real volume on anything above 1G except in BTO. Chuck
