Pravin,

Also, what do you, Scumbria, and Pete (and others) think about the performance increase that we should expect by going to a synchronous memory system where the FSB and main memory are both clocked at 266 Mhz? Will Intel have asynchronous solutions with their DDR chipsets?

I think we have 3 components that will work in our favor and increase performnce:
- synchronous vs. asynchronous, which should bring increase comparable to Via Apollo vs. BX
- increased bandwidth (DDR vs. SDR)
- increased FSB

Each can amount to 3% to 5% performance increase.

Joe
