Here's a snippit of the article that the pic was from: Intel made it clear time and time again that RDRAM is the primary memory technology for the future. In the desktop segment, they expect RDRAM to fill the mainstream desktop market by the end of 2000 and transition to the value segment by early 2001. :D > look at those slots on the board (ISA or expantions?) > > and what is the board doing upside down? all new > boards are placed on the right side of the case > if you ask me that is an old server with old parts, > monitor and expantion slots > LOL The monitor has nothing to do with it. The design is quite logical for a server IMHO as in a server you don't really need clear access to your expansion slots, but would need clear access to the CPUs and RAM etc. I think it's a nice case design. An BTW, the board isn't "upside down", as it's on its side, as it usually is in most PCs. In this case its just on its other side ;) It'd still be nice to have a board with 2 AGP slots though :p Mike.	Mike (15)

I think "Madison" in this case is the code name for Micron's dual Northbridge chipset which allows for extended PCI bus, more RAM sockets, and the dual AGP. Definitely not a cheap way to do it. Mike.
