Petz,

Intel is obviously pushing 400 MHz DDR SDRAM because they can't get any variety of RAM to work asynchronously with respect to their FSB which is 100 MHz quad-pumped.

It probably could work, but the performance would suffer.

RE:"Intel is obviously pushing 400 MHz DDR SDRAM because they can't get any variety of RAM to work asynchronously with respect to their FSB which is 100 MHz quad-pumped. I expect to see that their Brookdale chipset will not support PC133 but only PC100. They've already announced that the DDR version of Brookdale will only support 100 MHz*2 (PC1600) and not 133 MHz*2 (PC2100)."

That's interesting. Seems some Intel faithful have been knocking AMD because of the time it's taking to launch the 760 with PC2100. Meanwhile, the P4 will be stuck at PC1600-100 Mhz bus...looks like Intel is behind the eight ball again.
