I was under that very same impression. For a very, very long time, DDR SDRAM was only "maybe" supposed to be in an eventual server chipset. Allegedly, Intel's contract with Rambus limited them in terms of how much they could openly talk about supporting DDR SDRAM. DDR SDRAM support in the i845 was initially a possibility only, then it became one of those "if market requires" things, and perhaps the middle of 2001 saw it being somewhat certain. But I'm only pulling all this from hazy memory, so I may be mistaken.
