<<Hey Max, Do you think Rambus's huge runup today could have anything to do with Intel showing off their Katmai-Camino-Rambus systems running at ultra high frequency ultra blinding speed?>>

Analysts like Edelstone was impressed of Rambus at Comdex. They are betting big on Rambus. Intel will push hard for Rambus since MHz sells. Technically the Alpha bus is superior technology because data rate at 200MHz bus is 1.6GB same as 600MHz Rambus. Latency on SDRAM is much better than Rambus.

<<But hey those Godzilla flicks looked pretty good!!!>>

Heh man, the K7 works! The K7 dream machine is closer to production than just foils like you hyped.

Re: "But hey those Godzilla flicks looked pretty good!!!"

I'm curious as to what exactly you would have liked AMD to demonstrate the K7 doing. Which raises the question--what was the Katmai-Camino-Rambus demo "at blinding speed" all about? I bet Intel just had the system running Windows 98, period.
