Elmer, re:"double pumped frontside bus"

Katmai will be very fast but I think double pumped frontside bus is still a ways off.

I think we may see sampling this year and initial production Q299. That is a way off in the instant time expectations here in SI I suppose.

To clarify I expect Katmai will be introduced with BX using the conventional 100MHz FSB. Then look for Camino chipset sampling late this year. I think you'll find Katmai "tweaked" to run double pumped with Camino.

P.S. I wonder where they'll hide register bit that enables the double pump feature? :)
