It would be great if 3rd parties develop P4 chipsets. Low prices and lots of choices.

I thought VIA & ALI does NOT have the legal right to produce Willamette Chipsets and Intel is locked on DDR from rambus till 2003

I thought that they could make willy chipsets but not use the quad bus tech that intel is using. That is the way i understood it anyway.

To me that means that the bus will be set for rdram and not ddr so ddr won't look as good. Just a hunch and i don't know the tech aspects of it.
