How much of the posted performance increase will be due to the memory alone? I say that it'd be really interesting to compare an AMD760 chipset at 200/100MHz with PC1600 [DDR] SDRAM against an AMD750 chipset at 200/100MHz with PC100 SDRAM. This way, we can see what kind of benefit you get from doubling the bandwidth without changing any other variable. Hmmm.... Somebody get me a 760 board, and I'll get right on it. <g> -JC
