RE: <Why design an entry level chip that requires double the count of the only other expensive component on the motherboard? Why not integrate a memory controller onto the chip and halve the count of expensive DRDRAMS?> Huh? Dan, have some more coffee. It doesn't take twice as many drdrams just because they are on two channels. If you're using 128Mbit chips and you want 64MBytes then put two chips on each channel. There is no problem until the day comes when your entire main memory could fit in one dram chip. That day is not soon.
