The PX266's memory controller will be based on the Pro266 and KT266's. Thus, we won't be seeing any exotic dual-channel DDR-SDRAM setups on motherboards based on PX266. A dual-channel SDRAM interface is simply not feasible for the mainstream computer market, as the 128 data lines, plus their associated control lines, would make the motherboard's PCB overly complex and expensive to design. However, we will be seeing a dual-channel DDR-SDRAM design implemented into the server version of PX266. PC100/133 and PC1600/PC2100 will be supported, but anything less then PC2100 will greatly hamstring the memory bandwidth hungry Pentium 4. Interesting. So you can get 2.1GBs with DDR on the P4 or 3.2GBs with RDRAM on the P4. Sounds like they're saying that dual-channel DDR is just too difficult for the desktop market (unlike RDRAM). Also, I didn't see anything on your list closer than four to six months away. There's that magic number (promise?) again. Funny how it keeps coming up. Are we ever going to see this DDR thing really, actually, truly launched? Dave
