Re: "Paul, PB or anybody: Has Intel disclosed anything about going to a 166 MHz bus? Is this do-able with the GTL+ protocol? PC166 would certainly be faster than 800 MHz RDRAM."

GTL+ is an electrical specification, not a protocol. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Intel may jump straight to 266MHz from 133MHz by double pumping the data.

Petz - Re: "PB or anybody: Has Intel disclosed anything about going to a 166 MHz bus? Is this do-able with the GTL+ protocol? "

Of course it's doable - Intel's GTL+ BACKSIDE bus on the Pentium II & Pentium IIIs runs up to 300 MHz (600/2).

However, I haven't heard anything about it - nor have I heard of any SDRAM memory running at this speed.

Re: "PC166 would certainly be faster than 800 MHz RDRAM."

Oh yeah - why ?
