Joe, I'm sure the integrated video is on the "northbridge". AGP was a brilliant marchitectural move by Intel; I think it leaves everybody stuck with either integrated graphics or an AGP port on the northbridge. Another move that makes the "saving pins" argument for Rambus silly on its face. Running LDT instead of PCI out of the northbridge is probably good technically, but I don't know what's available in terms of a southbridge with LDT interface. Is Nvidia rolling their own? I assume even the 760 still has PCI out for now, since it's being coupled with existing southbridge solutions. Intel and Via of course have their own alternate solutions for the northbridge/southbridge link, though I don't know how close Via is to shipping anything. Cheers, Dan.
