Charles, I wonder about the built-in northbridge. Currently, I think the x-box/815e style solution of northbridge+graphics adapter has a little more steam behind it. It's another chip, of course, but at the moment it seems a more successful approach than Timna. Intel's graphics core is not that impressive, and AMD doesn't seem to be seriously pursuing integrated graphics at all. Intel sort of pulled a good marchitecural move with AGP, meaning that the northbridge has to support the memory bus, PCI, and AGP too, leading to a whole bunch of extra pins if you don't integrate the graphics with the CPU. Putting the memory controller with the CPU makes sense, but dragging all the other stuff along, I don't know. Cheers, Dan.
