PT, Wouldn't it be easier just to integrate both the graphics and graphics memory into one chip rather than adding a separate memory controller (which seems more complex to me)? I think this may be the holy grail of the graphics chip makers, since this would basically allow virtually unlimited bandwidth, since the internal bus can be say 1024 or more bits wide, and much faster than external buses. The problem is that you need some 32 or 64 MB of memory for today's high end cards. Placing this much memory plus all the logic of the GPU would make a HUGE chip. When this is done, it will first be done on the very high end graphics chips, and it will take a while until it gets down to low end solutions. Joe
