Intel is bringing up DDR chipsets (and encouraging 3rd party DDR chipsets) as fast as possible, for P4 and P3. Didn't I read (was it the dreaded PengEL?) that they may have even come up with a clever way to skirt any contractual obligations to the BUS: Allow for some optional graphics buffer memory to be of the BUSted variety. Probably no motherboards would actually choose to implement it, but supposedly, it would suffice for the legal dept. So the P4 will be BUSted through Q2 2000, but then the BUS goes bye-bye. Doug
