fyo, DaleWhat could become a negative is that during the transition AMD would have to produce multiple variants of the same processor. That is to say, when DDR-II is introduced, AMD will have to continue to offer Clawhammer with a DDR interface... The extra die space to continue to support regular DDR along with DDR-II is probably insignificant. The problem will be getting DDR-II right the first time, but if the DDR-II interface proved buggy, at least these chips could still support DDR. BTW, I noticed something new on my 1.33 AXIA -- the motherboard reports on the microcode download level on the bootup screen. AMD must have increased the re-programmability of the microcode on the AXIA stepping. Returning to the original integrated Northbridge idea, is there a way to make most of the northbridge section an FCPGA which is programmed after the rest of the die has been manufactured? Petz
