John, regarding streaming video. I've noticed on this thread that there is a misconception that internet streaming video to consumers is shortly to be a reality. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but that technology to the consumer is likely close to 5 years out. The infrastructure as you note just doesn't support video without jitter, even on our fastest last mile products now being offered such as ATHM. Once again correct me if I'm wrong but internet streaming will fail to stress PC bandwidth for quite some time yet. Rich

RE: <KZ just mentioned scanning in 100M sized photos, ... KZ also mentioned video streaming.>

Nope, not me. In any case, these apps will run faster on DDR-Sdram which will achieve 2100 MBytes/second and be available by the time these apps ramp to any wide spread usage.
