Joe Re..<<<<The advantage is that the probability of both internal and external designs not working is lower.<<<<<< Joe , I am not sure what you are talking about here? <<<In practice, there are still risks and there is a downside (that millions of your customers will use your product with crappy Via chipsets).<<<<<<<< Joe there are risks also that AMD's chipset will be crappy. I think AMD should stick to what they are good at, flash and mpu. Let the other companies who have greater expertise (ALI,SIS, VIA) produce the chipsets. Maybe the first iterations won't be the best, but eventually AMD will get good chipsets, and that is what counts.
