Tony, <How do they know that the "desirable" reflected signal is not reflected noise due to a mismatch.> That's a very good question. I wish I knew the answer. Tenchusatsu

Hi Tony Viola; No voodoo involved with using a singly terminated line. Just the usual engineering. The speed up is because singly terminating halves the current output requirement of the drivers. This speeds them up by a few picoseconds. It really shouldn't matter much, in my opinion, the real problem for double termination is power consumption. Whether singly or doubly terminated, the signals pass down the line at the same speed, any speed up would be in the driver, not the transmission line. I think that doubly terminated would be safer, though... I suppose someone has already posted the Intel announcement of the release of the 820 in a couple weeks. If not, I will do so. -- Carl
