I think you're right on both points. All memory transactions have to go through the FSB/North Bridge. There are embedded uP's that have integrated memory controllers that have a direct link to memory.

Dude, send your PS2 to me. I'll fix it. ;)

I'm against it. Why? It's going to be worse for consumers. There will be fewer competitors and we'll all end up paying higher prices.
