<I do. I think my boss was right, when he said that as you are getting closer to the right solution, things will get simpler. I wonder if the inverse is true as well, that is as you move further from the right solution, things will get more complicated.> Really? Dynamic ram and all the complications associated with it are a better solution that static ram and it's simplicity. Caching of memory and disk IO are complicated yet a worthwhile solution. Processors use branch prediction, out of order execution, TLB's , pipelining etc. The world is eagerly waiting for your bosses simpler solution <But with a single processor, graphics card with enough memory and no AGP, these GTL buffers are irelevant, aren't they?> Maybe so for your use.

Jozef - Re: " these GTL buffers are irelevant, aren't they?" Nope - Intel will be the first to market with a 100 MHz CHip Set with all I/O running at 100 MHz. The GTL+ interface will facilitate this. Going to even higher bus speeds - 133 MHz - will also be easy for Intel, again, due to the GTL+ electrical interface. The Intel technology arsenal is quite wide, as well as deep. Chip sets with integrated graphics for high performance/low cost systems will also benefit from this new technology. You will see these innovations as 1998 unfolds. Paul
