Tom,

Do you have the URL for Via (www.via.com appears to be a software company or something)?

Thanks,

Dave

The Register has quite some PC-133 FUD from Computex this morning including this:

Posted 03/06/99 8:52am by Mike Magee at Computex in Taipei

Intel outed on PC-133

Unnamed sources rather close to Intel today revealed the truth about PC-133, Direct Rambus, VIA and the rest.

According to our extremely reliable source, Intel does have a plan to use PC-133 but is currently involved in an argy-bargy with VIA over the terms of its licence.

Intel does not want VIA to release the PC-133 chipset before it releases its own PC-133 chipset. It thinks VIA's licence precludes the Taiwanese company from so doing. VIA, unsurprisingly, takes a different view.

This must be seen as a climbdown and a u-turn. We can't quite find a metaphor which adequately describes the humiliation this represents for the chip giant. ®
