@Casper
And the RAM is directly/ecluvily connected to the CPU ?

Thought it was connected to the northbridge.

One of the strongest points withe the Marvel-NB is it's superb internal
bandwith, which should result in fast (and even working  :-P ) DMA.

PCI-bus with IDE, AGP (o.k. only 1x, but thats still a whole lotta bandwith),
and the Gigabit-Ethernet will all ask for data (when used), and in a SR-RAM
based mobo this bandwith will be missing on the CPU-side.
With DDR-RAM the components would need to ask the maximum of
bandwith zthe SD-RAM could  deliever BEFORE !!! they would "steal"
a single Mem-cycle from the CPU. Just like it was with them early Amigas
(those with 68000)......
