Dan, Re: "So Intel is throwing in the towel on Rambus, and adopting AMD's DDR standard. Which means we're about 2 years away from IA-64 being dropped, as Intel is forced to follow AMD's lead to X86-64." Here are a few differences between Rambus and IA-64: 1) The industry fought against Rambus; the industry is fighting for IA-64. 2) Intel did not control the development of Rambus; Intel does control the development of IA-64. 3) Rambus spent most of their efforts in court filing suits; Intel acquires help from the leaders in server processor and chipset performance, the Alpha, Himalaya, and Superdome teams. 4) Intel has a half-hearted commitment to Rambus; Intel has a whole-hearted commitment to IA-64. 5) Intel has a limited roadmap of products including RDRAM memory; Intel has a full roadmap of products for IA-64 architecture. Re: "Intel has made it clear in past statements that P4 is unstable and unreliable if run with DDR" Do you have anything to back this up? Re: "since Intel continues to happily to ship known buggy Itaniums, they must not be concerned about shipping buggy P4 platforms" Liar. wbmw
