Ten,

An easy way to increase memory bandwidth is by splitting up the memory among special purpose processors. This is already being done to some extent on graphics cards with framebuffer and texture memory onboard. I expect to see a lot more of that in the future.

It is kind of silly to try to extract huge amounts of bandwidth out of a single DRAM across a single bus.

Re: "Read my response to Ali. I'm arguing that every interface is competing for memory bandwidth, not processor bus bandwidth."

Well this may be true but how am I supposed to find out one way or another if you and Ali keep arguing about it? <GG>
