RE: <I don't think interleaved memory buys you much. It improves throughput but not latency. It could help a lot if AGP and CPU are both trying to access memory linearly at the same time.> Yes, of course you are right. This is the same problem with drdram for mainstream PCs. Latency is most important and bandwidth is minor and not worth extra cost. So for today's micros there is very little to gain with drdram or with 200 MHz bus. Oops, I mean "bus."
