Scumbria - RE: "I actually don't think it will have any significant impact on Willy performance. Willy has big caches and a low IPC, so there probably is no need for high bandwidth DRAM." Don't you say that as processors get faster, they will need more bandwidth? By the time this chipset comes out, Willy may be at something like 1.7GHz. Wouldn't having 1/3 the memory bandwidth have at least some impact on performance? Do you expect any performance gain with the Athlon moving to DDR SDRAM?
