Joe: I would not be surprised though if by the time X-Box 2 is released, nVidia (or someone else) can put enough DRAM on graphics chip die, to make the bandwidth virtually unlimited for small part of graphics memory, critical to performance, and have a smaller portion delivered from larger memory pool connected to the CPU.

PS2 already does this (I could be confusing it with Dreamcast, but I don't think so). This is how the PS2 (roughly) achieves graphics parity with the XBox.

The real fear (or opportunity) for AMD is if AMD moves to an what Inquirer reported, which is if they design their own CPU, and if the instruction set is the Intermediate Language (IL) they use in their .Net strategy.

The cheapest way for MSFT to design their own CPU that executes their .Net Intermediate Language would be for them to buy both AMD and TMTA.

The opportunity for AMD is to quickly add some IL extensions to the Hammer core.
