Paul,

Isn't the 760 MP out yet? It was due in December, 1999 !!

I doubt that, since there was no standard DDR in 1999.

Sure Joe - it makes a LOT OF SENSE to use a 32 bit Chip Set with 32 bit memory controller for a 64 bit CPU. Just think what those 64 bits on the Claw data bus will do when only 32 bits of data arrive !

All processors since Pentium have a 64 bit wide data bus.

Oh - and the 32 bit addressing for for a 64 bit processor will REALLY HELP with large data structures - NOT !!!

Athlon is capable of addressing 43bit address space. I don't know if all chipsets will support it, but maybe the higher end will. Xeon, btw, can access either 36 or 40 bit addresses (I don't remember).

Joe
