Re: [Sebring] John, Thank you for the info on Sebring. I spent 30 min at their Web Site, and requested info on an IPO, doubt if I will get a definitive answer, but worth a try. I see another RAMBUS! Thanks Again, Jim

[ADSL vs PCI] I think Sebring Systems choose a very poor example with speed improvements of the PCI bus as useful for computers connected by ADSL. The current PCI bus which is in about every modern computer has a top speed of 1.3 Gbit/s the 64 bit PCI would have 2.6 Gbit/s. The 1 to 50 Mbit/s of DSL are impessive if you compare them with a analog modem but even the ISA bus has no problems to handle the ADSL speeds of 1.5 to 10 Mbit/s. It would of course be useful for the major web servers which have to handle multiple concurrent requests to have serious I/O bandwith. But they should better have a OC12 speed network interface and multiple processors to make use of that new fast bus. Andreas
