<Initial Athlon systems will be using regular PC100 SDRAM, so unless there are some tricks being employed (like interfacing two identical SDRAM modules in parallel), the 200 MHz processor bus is pretty much useless (and only serves as a marketing point). > Ten, Correct me if I am wrong but the 200MHz bus is between the Athlon and the chipset, not between the chipset and memory. In addition to talking to a memory subsystem a chipset is also talking to I/O, graphics subsystems, etc. Each of these interfaces can run at less than 200MHz and yet the system throughput overall will benefit. No? Kap.
