I'm amazed that anyone would believe that the i820 launch was on time, fast, or a success.

Of course you are. I'm not amazed that you're amazed. However, I never said any of those.

But it was still far better than the DDR launch has been.

1) The DDR team has been working on DDR as long as Intel was working on RDRAM (in fact, Intel chose RDRAM over DDR). Yet they're coming out a year after RDRAM. So let's talk about "late". (p.s. For the past 3 years, DDR has been anywhere from 3 to 6 months away from shipping, according to Team DDR as well).

2) On the day when the 820 began shipping, Intel had more major vendors lined up and shipping than team DDR has shipping 4 months after it's launch.

Please feel free to deny either of those facts.
