Joe - RE: "I was under the impression that 760MP was the same chipset as 770, as one of the trade papers implied. We will see. Three chipsets would be better, especially if 770 has dual DDR." I never read about the 760MP until the mention by AMD's Huff. Here is an AMD roadmap from Anand's site - anandtech.com This pic shows the 760 is different from the 770. Unless they changed the 770's name, I think the 760MP is an addition to AMD's line. I am not sure if 770 will support dual DDR, but here is a Register article which says AMD has a dual DDR chipset planned - theregister.co.uk Mustang and 770 should be one FAST platform. Assuming it has dual DDR, it will have 4.2GB/s memory bandwidth, 266MHz fsb, and LDT which can do up to 6.4GB/s bandwidth between processors or north bridges, or something like that. Do you or anyone know if AMD's point to point protocol with this platform gives AMD an advantage over Intel's shared bus strategy?
