Sounds like PC-133 is in BIG BIG TROUBLE!!!!! Dong Kim, assistant marketing manager for Hyundai Electronics Co., said "the key hurdle is the spacing of the core logic and the memory modules. The Via boards place the core logic from 1 to 1.5 cm from the memory modules, almost flush with the CPU. Timing and spacing is still an issue. By the end of the second quarter, though, it will be worked out."

Would you buy a used car from this man ??? An engineer working at First International Computer Co., who asked not to be named, made a similar point. "We are not in a hurry to develop Rambus DRAM boards," he said. "First, its a matter of cost. A Direct RDRAM module could be about $200 more expensive. Also, we have no working samples of Camino," the Intel core logic that will support a 133-MHz front-side bus, the Pentium III processor, and Direct Rambus. McComas said "the total cost premium for a system using Rambus DRAM is almost $300. Ps. I think it's going to be about a 500$ added cost if you go with that other guy so don't bother talking to him. Also I don't think it's important for you to know what my name is.!!

I'm wondering if Intel brought along their 800MHz RMBS computer today to their Developer's Forum in Taiwan. I should watch our business news, see if they have anything on it.
