RE: "<Or AMD provides a chip set with interleaved memory (not likely).> Why not?"

Well they might do this in some future highend server product. I doubt that they or any 3rd party chip set designers have this for the K7 intro or will have it soon. It is pretty expensive for low or mid range PCs. It takes a lot of pins either on the chip set or a bunch of discrete Mux chips. If you're using 4Mx16 drams then min memory size is 64 MB. Not impossible but I think unlikely. Maybe some of the high school students with a MB will tell us if it supports interleaving.
