Hi Jdaasoc; My guess with SiS is that they started a chipset a couple of years ago, and now they want to have it available in the (unlikely) event that RDRAM gets cheap. SiS has at least 9 DDR chipsets already: 635 635T 640T 645 650 735 740 745 750 users.erols.com *It would be more interesting if Rambus had gotten SiS to agree to pay royalties on their DDR chipsets, but that doesn't seem to be implied by the press release.* Who knows, maybe Rambus is giving them a "pass" on their DDR chipsets in return for making like they're going to support Rambus in the future. That would be an advantageous agreement for both parties. I was under the impression that the SiS chipset was going to be single channel. That would be a very difficult row to hoe for an expensive DRAM. But until we get word of just what that chipset involves, who knows. -- Carl
