Er, which post? You mean Message 14312106, where you double things because the AGP bus is 128 bits wide? As far as I can see, this is just wrong, the memory controller data path width is still 64 bits wide for SDRAM/DDR, or 16 bits for Rambus, or 32 bits for dual-channel Rambus. AGP gives DMA access to the memory bus, PCI too, but the memory controller services them all, AGP, PCI, and processor. As for the impractically of dual channel SDRAM/DDR, I'll just point to the counterexample I mentioned to JC in Message 14307413 . That one has 693 pins, I think, but it's still targeted at the budget market. Them pins can't cost that much. Cheers, Dan.
