The i840 was a workstation chipset. It was never marketed for servers--for one thing, it could only support 2-way SMP multiprocessing. I know that some people may have used an i840 for a small-scale server, but that's not the market that Intel, AMD, etc. are talking about when they mention "servers." It certainly is. There's no sense in responding to your mistakes about the 21364, because it's beside the main point. Servers want memory that is dense and cheap - mainstream memory. It doesn't make any sense that Rambus would become the next memory standard and NOT be used in servers. That's why Intel designed Rambus into their server line, and why DEC did also (to their regret).
