Dear Whortso: You must have a comprehension problem. Take the 762MPX AMD chipset. This chipset has 900+ pins. A Duron has 423 pins and is 104mm2 at 0.18u and it uses flip chip (not normally used in northbridge chips). If it had 846 pins, it would still need to be 208mm2 to fit the number of pins and can have twice the transistors (70 million). But the 762 does not need that many. IIRC, the 762MPX is made on a 0.35u process for its 10 million or so transistors and it still has free (unused die area). Heck, Micron said that it could add 8MB of ESDRAM (68M transistors and 64M capacitors) onto its Mamba chipset for free (spare die area) at 0.18u with 900+ pins. You are saying that both AMD and Micron process and design engineers are wrong and you are right. I am ROTFLMAO! You are the fool and do not even know it! Pete
