Hi. Could you run that by me again?. This time in english.

Sadly, for juin that <i>is</i> English.

Still, I thought that for once, juin's post was pretty clear. Intel has <i>finally</i> validated PC1066 and now officially supports PC1066 RDRAM on the 850E.

So expect a sudden increase in the offerings from 3rd party motherboard developers for PC1066 because now they don't have to validate it themselves. (Granted, most of those will probably be crappy low-cost corner-cutting motherboards from el-cheapo motherboard companies because the major companies who wanted to support PC1066 already invested the time and money to do their own independant validation for it.)

However, as a side note, Intel seems to only officially supports the 32ns speed of PC1066. I guess they don't care to bother with the slightly slower 35ns variety of PC1066 RDRAM. It's no biggie though as those looking for RDRAM are probably already looking for the 32ns variety anyway.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing the 30ns variety finally come out.

Specification is ready to production but only on RDRAM 4 interleave bank so only support by SIS R658.4I have also lower manufacturing cost compare to normal RDRAM.

Now what to do??

I'm sure that if Intel isn't already working on an i850 modification to support it, they will be. They haven't completely given up on RDRAM.
