Paul,

I am encouraged to know that Intel has provided a separate memory bus - they call it a display cache - to the chip set, for use by the graphics engine.


Intel has stated that Whitney can be used either in a unified memory architecture (sharing memory with the CPU), or with a dedicated frame buffer. I would guess that this bus is the connection to the dedicated frame buffer memory. This is a standard feature on all graphics cards with frame buffer memory.
