Sylvester, Care to point one DDR PC with more than 1 bus??? Just wondering. And I did say DDR >>>>PCs<<<<<. What do all the special characters mean? Anyway, like I said in my earlier post, The P4 DDR chipsets will probably use two memory ports, to match the bandwidth of the P4 bus. There is nothing special about P4 which ties it to one particular memory type. Intel made that mistake with Timna, and probably won't do it again. Scumbria

Re: Care to point one DDR PC with more than 1 bus? No dual DDR PC's for a while. Nvidia has indicated that they will have a dual DDR chipset for Pentium and Athlon. There is no release date so far. Interesting thing is that it will have integrated graphics - they many be reversing the old standard of low performing integrated graphics that are dependent upon the (relatively) low performance of standard memory (compared to video memory). The Nvidia chipset will have a high performance 128 bit wide video memory that is shared by the PC. NVIDIA To Enter Chipset Market in Big Way Love them or hate them, you have to give NVIDIA its due. It's a great company with topnotch video cards that absolutely pound the competition in the marketplace. Now the computer industry is beginning to rumble as news of NVIDIA's tight lipped plans to create two DDR SDRAM chipsets start to leak out. The info we have heard from several reliable sources suggests that these could be killer products. With NVIDIA's track record with graphics controllers, the established chipset makers have reason to look over their shoulders and worry. The first NVIDIA chipset should see alpha silicon around November and is rumored to be a DDR-SDRAM integrated offering. The integrated graphics solution will either be a GeForce2 gts or a GeForce2MX. Like VIA's next products, there will be versions of the same chipset for both the AMD Athlon and the Intel PIII. In Q1, 2001 the second NVIDIA chipset should see first silicon. This chipset has similar integrated features as the first NVIDIA chipset, but has dual channel DDR-SDRAM support for a massive 4.256 GB/s bandwidth! www6.tomshardware.com Dan
