Ten, I thought most AMDroids were expecting DDR to drastically improve the not-so-hot performance of Thunderbird. If anything, AMD is more limited by memory bandwidth than Intel, particularly since Intel is still limited by a 133 MHz FSB. Too bad AMD doesn't have an RDRAM platform available like Intel does. Despite all of the hoopla surrounding Intel's chipset troubles, there's no denying that Athlon could use some better chipsets of its own. My position about CPU's and DRAM bandwidth has not changed, since I first started posting about this over two years ago. We have seen benchmarks of Athlon w/DDR, and they make it quite obvious that high-bandwidth memory is not of much value at current processor speeds. The same thing has been seen on the Intel side with DRDRAM. I'm baffled as to why the bandwidth myth continues to survive, in spite of massive evidence to the contrary. Scumbria
