hehe.. I warned you. Now, what good did all that typing and quoting and such do, Rob?

[Novdid]

Calm down people...

I've gone hot on this AMD-Intel, SDRAM-RDRAM to. There's no ending to this.

Well the day we don't see any RDRAM on the market maybe, but that will probably never happen.

When two male chips argue in the wild, a female often steps in to have sex with one of them to diffuse the situation...

[isochar]

So is the female a socket 462 or 603?

[Marshmallowman]

so which intel chipset is the dual channel ddr ram board?


I would think the mainboards for either is where the chips stick there prongs...

Isn't that the chipset that ignominiously and very publicly crapped out at IDF today?

From TVEyes CNBC 2/26/02 - 9:12 AM... been corrected. Looking at intel today, day two of of the intel developer forum running through thursday. Today morgan stanley is out reiterate ing an outperform rating, warburg is not expecting surprises. Intel big's comp decision not amd, but it is apathy, they say there is tloil get excited about at the idf. This morning, the intel (E7500) chip set failed before the audience that was assembled to witness the debut and so they say that is bullish for broadcom, up now about 37 cents premarket. Watching a bunch of stocks today, start with palm and this just now crossing the wire. Palm says the u.S. District court in rochester rejectded motion made by xerox related to a claim by patent infringements, refusing to halt the sale of palm powered in the u.S. And saturday trial date for damages.

It may very well happen. It seems as maybe we will see RDRAM dissapear from the PC desktop market. I can't provide a specific link, anyone browsing the web will soon find out that all indications show that Intel more or less are going to drop Rambus around a year from now.

I guess the one who lives will see.

[Wombat]

Actually, from the latest projections it looks like Intel will have phased out RDRAM completely by Q3'03.

Novdid, did you just contradict your own post?

[Novdid]

Guess so.

[isochar]

Not to stir the pot anymore , but... here's a link to Hyperthreading benchmarks:

I found a link

"Intel representatives officially announced at IDF that the company is going to completely give up the support of memory technologies promoted by Rambus in Intel’s chipsets by the end of the year. "

The mobo comes with two backward compatible 64bit PCI slots. I only have 32bit PCI cards at the moment, but if I try and use any of the 64bit slots, the mobo wont POST. The cards work fine in the 32bit slots... Is there something obvious i am missing here???

I dont have access to a 64bit card to test.

TIA, Paddy

[xortam]

Were you sure to put the 32-bit cards in backwards?

[Paddy]

I thought of that but the card wouldn't line up properly. I had to file an extra notch to get the card to fit...
