Agree. I can't imagine how anybody could say that Intel doesn't know what to do with the PCI bus. Not only Intel, but Apple and IBM for the PowerPCs, Digital for the Alphas and the big companies for their highend Intel based stuff ACTUALLY KNOWS where PCI is going. Not to talk about the manufacturers of boards. While PCI is being integrated in multiple platforms, local bus seems to be the choice for the lower end Intel equipment. AS you said, "absurd, unfounded and totally off base". Sincerelly, I can't see serious highend systems adopting VLbus (neither VLbus 2.0) as their bus of choice for highspeed connections with the processor(s). IMHO, it has an image of not more that a way to speed up flight simulators <g> Seriously, I don't like when someone gets something bad and start to add patches and patches to make it go faster… well, I don't like the idea. ana /krazy images
