ST, Are you saying that now Intel cannot have RDRAM go with Itanium? Is the change not as simple as replacing the 460GX chip set with something that supports RDRAM? How is McKinley different in its support for RDRAM and does it support DDR as well? All good questions that I'll have to defer to others to answer (or at least to provide correct answers <G>). Sorry to ask so many questions, its just that I've been thinking that RDRAM should have a better chance in the server market than in desktop. Discussions in the past have also pointed out that RDRAM is probably not the best choice for servers due to the large memory configurations that are required (better served by large DIMMs). Even Intel is working with ServerWorks for their server chipsets, if I remember correctly. Dave
