That probably still isn't a bottleneck, though. my understanding is that the 10 (12?) pins to that external chip are sufficient to carry a leetle bit more than 480mb/sec, and if there's an ethernet controller as well, that would tend to confirm that hypothesis. the datasheet will tell the full story, i'm a leetle pushed for time, spent enough time on this already, so will leave it up to someone else to do that. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
