Andreas,

It looks like a great chipset. A very good integrated video, built in Fast Ethernet. I think it will be extremely popular with OEMs.

LDT angle is excellent. I am a little puzzled about something: Is the integrated video part of the Northbridge? It would be the closest to the memory this way.

But now let's say AMD builds a chip with integrated Northbridge and LDT interface, but with no graphics and no AGP port from this integrated CPU. In this scenario, is it possible to have external AGP video, or are you stuck with PCI?

This crummy POS AGP kludge stands in a way of more elegant approach in the future. If there is one thing AMD could do (maybe with collaboration with NVDA) is to liberate the world from the AGP crap.
