Cirruslvr, Regarding the article you quoted. I noticed a technical problem with the text. That would give AMD 33% faster memory and lower latency in memory-access time. A faster bus will do very little to enhance memory latency. Latency is determined by the fundamental speed of the DRAM, and running the interface at a higher clock rate will not affect this. Faster busses were more important when the L2 was on the far side of the bus. The advantage that a faster bus offers is higher peak bandwidth, and there isn't much value to that either for most applications. Scumbria
