Anyhow, it's not my intention to distract anyone from the OGP development, but if anyone thinks this might be a worthwhile thing to build, I'd be interested in discussing it.
Well, your effort might turn out differently in the future. Intel would need to invest only a very small fraction of their money to redesign the northbridge die in a way, that the internal PCIe* will be muxed between the FSB path and some external pins. Maybe the chip itself already offers this functionality.. then you need only a PCB with good design. Any Intel developer here on the list ? ;-)
*) I assume that 1) the GPU is a standard PCIe device which can operate standalone from other parts on the chip. 2) that the operating memory gets initialized automatically from the SPD chips on the DIMM modules (because you can not run any program without RWM, initialization using the Bios ROM and only the CPU registers is quite unbelievable)
But generally I like the idea - to have a four ddr2 slot card with dual channel memory controller. Interesting also for non-graphic applications..
