Carl: If VIA could improve the 266 to the 266A, who knows what nVidia will do with the nForce. A larger cache or more aggressive prefetching might do the trick. It seems that nForce is not doing a very good job of utilizing the extra bandwidth of the second DDR channel, considering that the KT266A achieves the same scores in both synthetic bandwidth benchmarks and heavily bandwidth-dependent benchmarks. As for the integrated graphics, I suspect there is room for quite a bit of improvement - even without major core changes. More efficient use of the available bandwidth is paramount in a UMA solution, something NVIDIA have not really dealt with before. The increased latency of memory accesses also impacts the scenario. -fyo
