Re: "Wrong again. The BUS RUNS AT 333MHZ. The bus is 64 BITS wide at the CPU. . . Your conclusion that the CPU bus is slow is WRONG. Your conclusion that it requires 256 pins in the CPU is WRONG." That's what I said or at least tried to say. 464=256bits and 483.33=333.3Mhz, so 256Bits@83.3Mhz at the memory to memory hub ports becomes 64Bits@333Mhz at the CPU port. Conclusion.. Yes the memory hub to CPU runs at 333Mhz, not 200Mhz and yes it is only 64 bits at the CPU and they need LOTS of extra pins on the memory hub ports to do it. The K7 is not likely to take this approach but there is nothing to stop them. It works but at quite a price in both pincount and realestate. EP
