Dan, <I wonder about the built-in northbridge. Currently, I think the x-box/815e style solution of northbridge+graphics adapter has a little more steam behind it. It's another chip, of course, but at the moment it seems a more successful approach than Timna. Intel's graphics core is not that impressive, and AMD doesn't seem to be seriously pursuing integrated graphics at all.> Integrated Northbridge makes sense only if the memory market is not fragmented. With DDR having plenty of bandwidth and achieving the requisite cost levels it is a an solid choice. And the system performance should increase significantly because of reduced latency. Graphics can always be supported through an additional AGP port. Chuck
