Jeff, Cascades more importantly will support SDRAM. I still haven't figured out why anybody cares about RDRAM on the motherboard. I wish that someone could explain the theory behind it's benefits. Typically, a microprocessor bursts data in and out 32 bytes at a time. Attaching RDRAM to a microprocessor is like using a train to deliver the family groceries two blocks away. It starts slowly, and most of it's capacity is never used. The singular exception to this is the Cyrix M3, which will have the graphics processor on board. This processor will do long bursts, and will benefit from RDRAM. Scumbria
