<I was just asking if you had any direct sources telling you this, or whether you deduced it.> Intially I deduced it but then had it confirmed by a third party in the know. <If Mustang requires one of the new chipsets from sis, ali, micron, or 760, then we may have this same problem again when it comes out. > My understanding is that it doesn't though a DDR chipset will get additional performance. <If sledgehammer requires an entirely new chipset then we go through it yet again afterwards. > May be not as much. If the NorthBridge is integrated as rumored, there is one less chip to worry about. Right now I am not too worried since H2 2001 is quite far away. Apologies for the sarcasm earlier today. I misread what you were trying to say.
