tgp, Re: "AMD SAYS THE INTEGRATED memory controller on its forthcoming Hammer chips can be turned off, allowing the chips to use the controller of its accompanying chipset if necessary."

That's not ideal, either. You gain bandwidth, but lose latency. I see the possibility of some benchmarks running faster on AMD's integrated DDR333 controller, than a 3rd party's DDR-II 400/533 controller. It might be good from a marketing point of view to have DDR-II based Hammer systems, but IMO, Hammer would be losing its greatest advantage.
