Re: You bet it will be a cheap motherboard

After a little more thought, I'm not sure timna's such a great idea, at least, not if that's the way they architected its memory. It will be competing with Gobi, VIA's new integrated chip, and anything else that comes out in the next 6 month with a memory subsystem that requires twice the count of components that are 30% to 50% more expensive each.

What were they thinking? Why design an entry level chip that requires double the count of the only other expensive component on the motherboard? Why not integrate a memory controller onto the chip and halve the count of expensive DRDRAMS?
