.... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that NEC & Toshiba will be doubling and tripling their RDRAM (the slow, vastly overpriced DRAM no one wants) production for the PIV (the sluggy performing, vastly overpriced CPU that no one wants that intel rushed out in place of the RealP4) and will be cutting production of SDRAM (the fast, standard, widely available DRAM) because the price is too low and there are no windfall profits to be made off suckers there.

.... Put on your full body waders before walking thru the BS about RDRAM performance in this article.

.... Looks like Rambust and intel are escalating the BS hype engine to counteract the TRUTH about RDRAM and PIV that's widely available all over the WWWeb. Here I was hoping the PIV-RDRAM fiasco would finally die out this quarter as intel converts PIV over to SDRAM for Q4.

.... Its all about $$$$$$$$$$$, not quality tech or real value for the end user!

.... The PIV & RDRAM IQ test continues.

This is just making me cry (not) seeing the whole industry backing the Intel, the P4 and Rambus. I really hope that VIA makes a DDR P4 chipset. I would consider a P4 with DDR, but not Rambus or SDRAM! I don't see why VIA wouldn't want to do this, so what if they make Intel mad, they have the entire AMD market on their backs because AMD won't become a chipset maker and people including OEM's, and motherboard makers would use it because DDR's price I think is going to go down once a reliable platform is avialable (Which I think may be here is the A7M266). Does anyone agree with me?
