Actually, no, the i820 had no problems with RDRAM, it worked fine, albeit
just slowly. It was actually slower than the more primitive i815 chipset
which used just single-channel SDR, but still outperformed the RDR. The 820
had a secondary problem when using a Memory Hub Translator which converted
SDR signals into RDR signals. The MHT had "signal integrity" problems or
something like that.

Intel needs to design something to compete with AMD's K9, forget the K8.
Sounds like what Intel needs to design is an Athlon 64/Opteron.

Well of course it would, because it worked so well in the umm, NetBust
architecture.
Intel's P4 and Rambust woulda conquered the world, if the
opposing "organization" of Macdonald, Kent, Hill, Kahn, Carbon,
and Williams, weren't so blasphemous. The venerable lawfirm of
Rambust, Shambust, and Scambust could never recover. Of
"Course" some tried, but it was by then futile. ...and it's all
*YOUR* fault George!
The one thing they missed was calling their uncle RICO. ...what a
racket!

Give us a hint of the second-derivitave and we can all make some
cash off the differentials. ;-) OTOH, I don't think I could
touch that money. Liek M$, ...too dirty.

The word from "inside Intel" was that although the problem was aggravated
by the MTH the real problem was the DRDRAM channel's "negative timing
margin":

This was also illustrated by the reduction in RIMM count per channel - the
mbrd recall at the 11th hour. Even 6months or so later, around the time
when the MTH was withdrawn, Dell had a 3month backlog on PC800 DRDRAM
systems and encouraged people to just take the PC600 stuff. Yes the i820
and the i840 both had problems.

P4's not a bad chip in it's Northwood/.13um iteration, which is what
it was mainly designed for. (I believe that all new CPU's are
designed for one process generation ahead of what's available upon
release.)
Too bad it turned out to be a "one generation wonder"....

Jan, you ignorant slut, I was referring to *technical*
discussions that happened *years* ago, which you've shown that
you cannot grasp ("technical", "years", nor "discussion"). The
regulars here know exactly the issues involved. As usual, you
haven't a ****ing clue what you're talking about. Perhaps you'd
like to brush up on the local personalities and some group
history before you make such a fool of yourself again.
Nah! You too much like being the class fool.

Oh I'll accept some of the uhh, blame, along with the rest of you
but inhere it was really mostly the work of John Corse himself. I recall telling
him he was doing more damage than good for his cause but he just kept right
on going.
Ya don't think we're gonna all get an offer we "can't refuse"?

Actually, I'd rather like "an offer that I cannot refuse". (21

No - Sam Waksal, the guy who was the principal at ImClone... the one who
err, didn't tell her that the stock was gonna tank the next day.

Oh, why thank you! You and Jan can have a good time kissy-
