milehigh and richard as usual it depends on what you see...i see this. Barrett: We are still very excited about the prospects of RDRAMs very strong opening statement. that sounds great to me. i'm excited too. We had hoped that [the RDRAMs] would be available about mid-year. That looks like it will slip to the third quarter. certainly not backing up. the term "looks like" is very vague. i hear mild disappointment with suppliers none with rdram itself. we still think that RDRAM has a strong technical capability. very strong closing statement. very positive for rmbs. afterall intel is in the technical business. unclewest

milehigh, you have always added a lot to the thread. speaking for myself, i welcome your comments. have fun here, don't get bent if you are challenged. lol. unclewest re< INTC has said they will support SDRAM in Camino chipset, you do know this don't you? > it took me a while to remember where i had this but here it is. this is the latest (i think) info i have on chipsets and motherboards and what they support and release dates and the news sources. i can dig out more info if you want it. this is the 820 lite. projected release 9/99. Chipset formerly named 440JX and Camino to match Katmai supporting up to 1 GB of Direct RAMBUS DRAM at 600 MHz and SDRAM at 100 MHz. May come in two flavors for 100 and 133 MHz bus. Intel have denied rumors that it will support DDR SDRAM or SLDRAM. Accepts dual-Katmai processor modules. AGP-4x supported increasing data transfers up to 1 GB/s by using both edges of the clock at 133 MHz. Supports ATA-66 but accesses to the ISA bus must now pass the PCI bridge. Also includes the Audio Controller '97 digital link. (Earlier planned inclusion of PIIX6 (and Firewire) in the chipset has been put on hold indefinitely due to an extra cost of $10 to $20 per chip.) (98-11-14: ZDNet, 98-11-23: CRN, 98-12-07: EBN, 99-02-10: EBNews, 99-02-11: EETimes, 99-02-09: EBN, 99-02-24: ZDNet) ee times reported in feb that intel has a version of the 820 that supports rdram 800 and sdram 133. it makes sense for intel's r&d guys to work on everything. but remember everything they do research on does not get to market. i see no reason not to take intel at their word that they are not going to support ddr. that said...rambus wins by default. this is the 840 carmel. projected release 9/99 Chipset for Xeon based systems supporting two way servers using the 133 MHz bus or four way servers on 100 MHz. Succeeds the 450NX chipset. Supports up to 2GB of Rambus DRAM memory or up to 8GB using 4 repeaters and 64 bit / 66 MHz PCI. Also released in i840-QP version for four-way Xeon configurations. (98-11-16: Infoworld, 99-03-18: EBNews, 99-04-15: Register) 99-06-XX Vancouver, Salem PII motherboards including 4X AGP, PCI audio, support for Rambus memory using RIMM slots and no ISA slots. 99 Q3 Saber Platform name including an 8 processor Xeon motherboard using the Profusion multiprocessing chip set developed by the Intel subsidiary Corollary Inc. (99-04-07: Register) 99 Q3 Outrigger Dual processor PIII Xeon board featuring i840, 2GB RAM, AGP 4x Pro, PCI 32/33, Ultra 2 SCSI. (99-04-15: Register) 99 Q3 Brigantine Dual processor PIII Xeon board featuring i840-QP, 4GB RAM, AGP 4x Pro, PCI 64/66, Ultra 3 SCSI. (99-04-15: Register) unclewest everyone! please feel free to correct me or update me on this info. or just sling mud if you like.
