John,

>>There are two other fallback options in Intel's road map, said Brian
Johnson, a member of MacWilliams' staff at the architecture labs. One
is the long-planned S-RIMM. An interface ASIC would reside on a
RIMM and would translate the Rambus signal levels of 1.0-to-1.8 V to
the 3.3-V CMOS signals used in the PC100 SDRAMs. That would allow
OEMs to use Rambus-type motherboards and RIMMs while using
SDRAMs as the memory-on-board. Then the S-RIMMs could be swapped
for the genuine RIMMs when the RDRAM supply picked up.<<

I don't know about you, unless I totally misunderstand the significance of this, I find that even entertaining this type of "fallback option" would hint at a very significant early demand. Otherwise, why not just wait it out. They're only talking 3 months....

Peter MacWilliams, an Intel Fellow at the Intel Architecture Labs (Hillsboro, Ore.) took a long-term view of the delay. It's "no big deal when you look at it from the perspective of where we are going over the next few years," he said.
