Cirrus, <So do you expect any i820/DRDRAM performance advantage to become more noticeable as faster PIIIs come out?> According to the performance guys that I know (actually, it's just one guy), this should be the case. On the other hand, part of their predictions are based on old fashioned crystal-ball techniques, since they do have to predict what the performance characteristics of future applications will be. (AGP is a good example of this. When Intel introduced AGP, they were hoping that the "execute" mode of AGP will be used more and more, and that local texture memory on graphics cards can be omitted except for the high-end. In reality, it turned out that AGP did help, but not in the way that Intel expected.) Tenchusatsu
