Hi Dave B; Re: "I only see 2 DDR DIMM slots in the picture of the reference board that VIA sent to Anand. Must not mean anything -- there are no stability problems with DDR, according to some on the thread." Funny. Only 2 DDR DIMM slots? That's the same number that the 820 was limited to. LOL!!! There was a time that I'd bother to refute this sort of cr@p from you. Now you're just another loser in denial. Pump on, dude! This time the bubble's got more breaks than blow hards. Please reply something to the effect that now you're sure that Bilow is really scared, and that this is a great time to buy Rambus. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! -- Carl P.S. Hey, I saw that INAP is becoming dIrtNAP. Kind of goes with Rambus becoming Rambust.

Sorry for the late Response Dave. I have no RMBS at present, so am not following the board here as regularly. That DDR stability issue came out of the first review of the new Via board i saw here: firingsquad.gamers.com < VIA P4X266 Preview August 14, 2001 - Brandon "Sandman" Bell The P4X266 reference board Performance In our performance tests, VIA's P4X266 reference motherboard performed within 2-3% of a similarly configured ASUS P4T system in games such as Quake 3 and MDK2, as well as in Madonion.com's synthetic 3DMark suite. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to conduct tests with SYSmark or e-Testing labs suite of office benchmarks. Keep in mind that these results were taken with memory modules supplied by VIA themselves -- none of our DDR modules would work reliably with the memory timings cranked up to the "Ultra" mode in the P4X266 board's BIOS. Hopefully we can take a closer look at the performance of the P4X266 once we get our hands on a newer reference board so we can play with the memory timings a bit more. Stability was fairly decent for an engineering sample -- the system locked up once in about three hours of testing. >
