Petz, I'm a little concerned that the Hammer's memory controller may be eclipsed by new memory technologies. It's supposed to support PC1600, PC2100 and PC2700 When was the last time you upgraded motherboard, memory, but kept the same CPU? By the way, will Clawhammer support both 64-bit-wide and 128-bit-wide memory interface (requiring DDR in pairs)? Or is it only 64-bit or only 128-bit-wide? It would be nice to have both, but I am afraid that it will be either 64 or 128bit. Joe

There were rumors at one point that ClawHammer would feature only the 64 bit version, with SledgeHammer having the 128bit one. There's really no technical reason preventing ClawHammer from supporting both 64 and 128 bit. Heck, NVIDIA is doing much the same now with nForce. The main disadvantage that I see of supported both is that the 128 bit wide memory controller requires more pins. If 90% would be used in the 64 bit mode anyone, why trouble everyone with the added hassle? -fyo
