Peter, I read Anand's review of the Via P3 DDR chipset, and I'm not sure what to make of it. It's not exactly news that Via is fully capable of making a chipset that sucks. Do you think if they'd done an Athlon chipset first, it would have sucked less? Maybe they did us a favor by serving Intel first? The downside is that for DDR to become mainstream, it's going to have to have good chipsets for Intel processors too. The big puzzle is going to be what anybody manages to do for the P4. Given its lame(r?) performance with single channel DRDRAM, it's probably not going to look real good with plain SDRAM either. But everybody building chipsets seems to have been able to come up with plenty of lame examples of late, and the P4 is probably trickier than most. Cheers, Dan.
