@Eracer " Should we expect a 1T setting in notebooks? " It depends on the OEMs, seems to me that price is the main point, so we will mostly end up with 2T when you ask me, but a good design will support 1T as AMD. " Does AMD's memory controller support 1T at 667MHz FSB? " Are you joking? " Are motherboards going to have a 1T option and will it be officially supported? " Ask the Notebook OEMs ... " Does anyone make DDR2-667 SO-DIMMs that support 1T " Did you look at the new DRAMs from Micron or Infineon? Specs got way UP as the 90nm products came online. So a 1T chip isn't difficult. The only question is, if the OEM are willing to pay 1-2$ more. " If/when they do how much more will they cost just to get Turion X2 close to Yonah-level performance? " DRAM is one factor, but the main points are platform and cache. AMDs DC 90nm Cores are huge, so its reasonable to do 512KB if you don't want to pump huge cores through the FABs. I'm not saying that this is a positive situation, but we have to live with this for again a few months, but as I said, I'm very satisfied with the specs. Its not an Intel Killer, of course, I'm not expected this, its a starting point and we will see WAY more as time goes by. BUGGI
