Beamer - Re: "The i810 never shipped with RDRAM. This one is just a plain lie." As opposed to Blow Hard Dan's Fancy Lies ? Paul

Beamer - Re: "The FUD that you present is downright dirty. It's a pathetic attempt to downplay the stock, and you ought to be brought up on charges." Blow Had Ban Ban Dan would just plead insanity - and walk !

Re: i810 never shipped with RDRAM. This one is just a plain lie. I typoed 810/820 instead of 820/840. Deal with it. The chipsets were shipped by Intel even though they corrupted data. Deal with that too.

Re: I have no idea what you are talking about here. Intel's only 8-way chipset Why do you think they had to go with serverworks? Their solution shipped, was buggy (Compaq found that one, too, typically, Intel didn't have a clue) and Intel gave up on their 8 way PIII chipset for nearly a year and started selling Intel boards with serverworks chipsets. Yet Another Xeon Delay In the past 6 months, I've reported so many different Xeon delays in NT News Analysis that I've assigned the phenomenon an acronym: YAXD. Pronounced yawks-dee, this acronym stands for Yet Another Xeon Delay. This time around, Intel is delaying the 450MHz version of the NX chipset until early 1999. This critical release supports 4-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) with the new 2MB Level 2 cache version of the Xeon CPU and up to 8GB of RAM. The 450NX delay comes on the heels of a similar setback with the 400MHz version of the same NX chipset. That delay cost server vendors dearly. Major players, such as Compaq Computer, are only now bringing their 4-way, 400MHz (with 512KB to 1MB Level 2 cache) NX-based systems to market, even though the vendors announced the systems last spring. Intel is denying the rumor that the delay is a result of a bug in the chipset. Instead, Intel claims that the delay is the result of conducting more extensive compatibility tests. According to company officials, Intel wants to test as many configuration permutations as possible because of the 450NX platform's likely popularity. Chipset delays of this magnitude tend to have a ripple effect through an entire product line. Many industry analysts are predicting that a delay in the 450NX chipset might affect the introduction of Profusion, the long-awaited 8-way SMP platform. Although Intel officials deny a possible Profusion delay, at least one OEM customer claims to have heard that Intel will not release Profusion in the fourth quarter of this year as originally planned. win2000mag.com
