"for a very comfortable 24 GB RAM - presumably just enough for the next version of Windows to boot - there is still enough headroom left over."

so true!

Yes, This is got: on line/ real time potential, yet its' Forte' may be workstation graphics monster. Why?

Its' core is too slow, only 166MHZ. Todays duel cores can muster 233 mhz/sec X2=533(ddr) X2=1066(ddr2)X2=2133 Max when developed to todays Best. To get HOT Feed n' Real Time, like Media interactive: 333 Core mhz/sec is considered Peak of Pack.
This is better quality all around & significant starting point, Desktop will be fast friendly & Home Entertainment Design capable in even Most Extreme situations, yet it may be several years to get to333 mhz/sec core frequencies,I have read powerful reports in:theinquirer of 500 mhz/sec cores & memory soon. Huummmm:yet this has more & moore functional cores. couple 'o billion tranies ain't no slouch, such as i.
If its' Petraflops you want on your footwarmer, then wait for tukwilia, However, basis for good extreme home use is all I ask & seems right within decade.
I can see why SiS is intrested once again in reestablishing market within this oncoming era.
Also AMD with PROTUS 4 core under $100 April'8 intro should Lead Band.Taking X2 line spot of Glory.

DDR3 has been out for over 6 months and we have yet to hear about DDR4?
You also mention DDR3 at possible speeds of 2100 WOW.
How about you comment on XDR which starts at 3200 and Elipia mass producing 4800 in April not to mention 6400 and 8000 working with road map to 16GB
Now that would be a WOW!
