Jim, Re: "6. VIA KT-133A. VIA ran around Computex begging motherboard makers not to abandon them, they they were getting the KT-133A "right". Nothing like a little competition to get these jokers to fix something." I think you mean KT266 (DDR chipset)? And yes, competition for Via should improve performance, both WRT supporting AMD's schedule and chipset performance. -PT

>5. Nvidia Nforce- shipping in the next 3 months. ...this chipset should completely wipe out the Celeron and low end P-III...where as Celerons still out sell Durons. It will make low to mid Pinto4s look like they are stuck in the blob. (Steve McQueen). Especially if they are attached to SDRAM and anything less than a Geforce2 or maybe even 3.< The nForce is currently positioned to compete at price points above those of even the i815. The nForce mobos will however make it more difficult for P4 systems using less than a Geforce3 or the very highest end Geforce2 cards. The nForce should quickly displace discrete Geforce2 MX cards in Athlon based systems, lowering their cost while boosting memory from 128MB to between 192MB and 256MB, albeit with some dedicated to UMA graphics memory.
