Max: I guess it answers to my questions about the future of the EV6 infrastructure. We only need some chipsets running at 166MHz DDR and up.

I don't think odds are good that we'll get to see 2x166MHz EV6 boards. Current 2x133MHz boards provide more than enough problems as is and with the EV6 bus going the way of the dodo sometime next year, AMD would be wise to focus on getting the Hammer infrastructure in place.

That's not to say that I would mind a respin of the AMD760, mind you! I definitely think AMD should do this. Likely, they will have learned a thing or two with the 760MP, that could be well incorporated into the 760. And maybe something to make it less sensitive to board component quality, making it cheaper for board makers (and thus consumers). Not that an EV6 board is ever going to get as cheap as a 1x133MHz GTL+ board...
