I thought something was up when you started to backpeddle in the past few day, running away from your "prediction" that Intel would not support PC1066, to bwahahaha-ing that the i850e would not work with current PC800. Of course, you are wrong on both counts. But you knew that.Message 17358208 "I don't know for sure that Intel isn't going to support PC1066, but I'd be surprised if they do. The funny thing is that Intel has already validated 14 PC800 RIMMs for use with the 850E chipset, but still doesn't have any PC1066 or RIMM4200 Rambus parts validated:" all that research gone in a puff of smoke--BWAHAHAHA!!!Message 17311472 "I don't find any PC1066 or 850E hits for ASUS or Abit, but plenty of PC800 or 850hits... "To get PC1066 accepted as a real technology, you're going to have to get Intel to support it. But here are the facts from the Intel web site; mentions for DDRII and PC800, but PC1066 strangely absent" Time to go look again, BWAHAHAHAHA!!Message 17154284 " Hi all; AcesHardware reports no Intel support for PC1066 RDRAM" Ooops! Wrong Again! BWAHAHAHAHA!!Message 17126625 "The idea is that this way, Intel will force Samsung to sell PC1066 at a more reasonable bin split..This is a "beyond silly idea". Intel would have to be run by insane maniacs to make a decision like that. But then again, they did sign the Rambus contract, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! ...If Intel intends on bringing it mainstream, they should be making it as clear as possible that they intend on supporting it, and the PC1066 speed extension. Playing coy is exactly the opposite of this. In fact, if Intel doesn't support PC1066, several industry observers have noted that this would be a definite signal that Intel is out of the Rambus business.... If your memory technology is obviously in good health, well then you can play games with the memory makers. But RDRAM is not of good health. Pretending to not support PC1066 would be like a very elderly person visiting a mortuary and taking a nap on a marble slab. .. So I would be a bit surprised if Intel did push memory out to PC1066. It's not automatic that Intel will avoid PC1066, they can still meet what I believe is their 5 year goal, but dropping PC1066 is what I'd expect." Wow! When you are as monumentally wrong as this, do you have to send the checks back??? <VBFG> ahem...BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! yourself.
