Rambus vs DDR article picked up from the Ramtron thread. May have been posted here already but it looks like quite a horse race shaping up. Intel looks to move past false starts with Rambus "At this IDF, Intel was not wishy-washy about their support for Rambus. They came out and backed Rambus and said, 'We don't think DDR will fly in the mainstream desktop market,' " Gordon said. "Sure, they have a backup strategy with DDR; but for the first time in a while, they said, 'This [Rambus] is the deal.' " At the IDF memory track, MacWilliams' remarks about DDR were "things that some people didn't want to hear," Gordon said. "But my reading of the situation is that the most important thing for Intel is the P4, and they are not going to let anything compromise that ramp. They will do anything they have to do to accomplish that, including rebates, investments in the DRAM vendors, whatever it takes." eetimes.com I got two more clicks on the A7M266 to 148MHz raising VIO to 1.90v from 1.85v. ameritech.net 148MHz looks like the A7M266 max according to the LostCircuts review. A "C" Thunderbird 1200 is coming in next week. If it holds up to 148MHz I should be able to take on any x86 on the planet Harvey
