Carl, on the embedded topic, did you pick up this rather intriguing little tidbit from mdronline.com I posted elsewhere?

Getting Results: eCache on a PC Platform

Dean Klein - VP of Integrated Products, Micron Technology, Inc.

Formal introduction of Mamba, Micron's PC
system chip incorporating embedded DRAM, an
AMD Athlon interface, and many additional
system-oriented features.


If Micron could put, say, 64mbit= 8 megabytes of embedded DRAM on a northbridge memory controller, which seems doable as pure dram goes to 256mb/chip it would make quite an effective 3rd level of cache, it seems. Very interesting, I say.

Cheers, Dan.
