Paul, I am encouraged to know that Intel has provided a separate memory bus - they call it a display cache - to the chip set, for use by the graphics engine. You mean there is going to be main memory with 2 buses (that would be strange) or is video portion of memory going to be separate? Joe

Paul, I am encouraged to know that Intel has provided a separate memory bus - they call it a display cache - to the chip set, for use by the graphics engine. Intel has stated that Whitney can be used either in a unified memory architecture (sharing memory with the CPU), or with a dedicated frame buffer. I would guess that this bus is the connection to the dedicated frame buffer memory. This is a standard feature on all graphics cards with frame buffer memory. Scumbria
