VIA vs Intel

This should be pretty entertaining stuff. VIA Technologies is about to release a chipset for motherboards that will be compatible with Intel CPUs. Apparently Intel isnt very happy with it though and they are threatening the legal stuff. Most likely because the VIA chip will support SDRAM.

The launch will see Via first out of the gate with full production of a Pentium 4 chipset that supports low-cost PC-133 SDRAM memory. Also pushing similar products through are Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), which is to begin volume production of the 645 chipset next month, and Acer Labs, which will launch its M1761 by the end of the year.

    ok so let me translate this for everyone here..Do not buy another computer part unless you just have to until these companys learn to set standards..I mean it makes me sick that all you here about pc's now adays is they are gonna sue them..When they get as fast as they can go its then and only then that i will even consider another upgrade even if it means i got to play quake for the rest of my life then so be it..And for any of you intel ceo's that might actually take this to heart if your good at reading in between the lines you can take the market back reaL quick if not..then watch them sales drop some more buddy :)
