Blow HArd Dan - Re: "AMD has easily outdone that effort with DDR and has been working on improving the 132Mbyte/Sec PCI bottleneck with a network and disk i/o bus that can run at up to 3,200Mbyte/Sec for point to point DMA (6,400Mbyte/Sec for Coherent LDT). If they get Adaptec on board so they can offer RAID and network controllers, and incorporate this i/o bus into a NUMA MPU architecture, it would be competitive with anything else being planned. No wonder why IBM, Alpha, and SUN have appeared a bit cooler towards AMD lately. It's easy to forget that this platform is being targeted at AMD's SHV 64 bit processors" Now - just where can I go buy one of these machines today? AMD's last great "copy" - the EV6 SMP bus - STILL isn't available - except in YOUR IMAGINATION. AT least RAMBUS based PCs are readily available. Paul
