Pravin, I pointed out earlier: Message 15358356 that NVdia XBox approach is one of the possibilities for a PC chipset. I just hope that LDT is flexible enough (I guess the coherent LDT would be needed for this) to let the CPU get its memory access either through onboard memory controller or through LDT. This way, a graphics oriented systems could have memory controlled by GPU, with CPU getting it's access through LDT, or a high end graphical workstation could have 2 sets of memory, one attached to CPU, one to the GPU. Low end UMA system could get its memory through LDT from CPU, or a traditional external graphics card could have its own buffer. I guess we will get a peek into the future when Nividia announces their PC chipsets. Joe
