Ok, That's now more like it. Frame buffer from eRAM, textures from SDRAM. Probably some large display list (commands) coming from rdram. The rdram does a very good job if all you want is very long bursts of predictable sequential data. I guess the sun guys found out that they can't put their frame buffer or textures on rdram efficiently. What is eRAM? They have three memory subsystems with at least 3 channels and all they got was 163Mpel/s. There's not much to celebrate, they have tons of bandwidth that's not used correctly, and they have to go back to the drawing board for Majic-II. Soon. SbH
