Tenchusatsu Re:Carmel chipset. This is from August Electronic Buyers News.http://www.techweb.com/se/directlink.cgi?EBN19980803S0008 Intel's weapons in the workstation and server markets will be the Tanner-a 500-MHz processor it will introduce in early 1999-and a 0.18-micron processor called the Cascades, which will come out in the second half of 1999 at 600 MHz or above. Cascades-based servers will be supported by Intel's Carmel chipset, which is also slated to appear in the second half of 1999. The Carmel will enable Cascades-based two-way servers to run on a 133-MHz system bus, and four-way servers to use a 100-MHz system bus. The Carmel will succeed Intel's existing 82450NX server chipset, as well as a lower-cost version of the NX device that Intel will introduce in the first quarter of 1999.

Tenchusatsu, re:"Because servers are built with massive amounts of memory." Nice explanation about the nature of these choices. But, I'll stick to my statement. As you say, one can use RD ram in servers, but this isn't the point - and there will be many so called server boxes featuring RD ram memory systems. It is a world of "gray" out there - not black and white. Some "servers" are really workstations. Some customers will make choices for particular - non obvious reasons. The market will work out the choices for itself. Cascades will support RD ram. Cascades more importantly will support SDRAM. Jeff
