RE:"if Intel beat Cyrix to 128bit bus. Then, both NSM and AND are toast." Joe, I am going to have to take issue with this statement. My favorite issue to beat to death is the fact that CPU performance is limited by memory latency, rather than bandwidth. A 128 bit bus does nothing for latency. On the other hand, graphics performance is limited by dram bandwidth. Unfortunately for Mendocino, the graphics is located off chip and a wide CPU bus will do zippo for Mendocino graphics performance. Scumbria
