Looks like the cooperation between ULi & Rambus is growing, & will continue to grow, as ULi has plans to use Rambus PCIe serial link interfaces in not only their current M1695 (recently certified) chip, but future single-chipset designs as well. Great news for OEMs, but i don't see these chipsets making the jump to "enthusiast" level anytime soon...

"'We do not plan to certify the M1573 and M1575 in the PCI-SIG because these products are designed to only support those ATI chips through PCIe connections. Our next product to be certified in the PCI-SIG will most likely be the M1697 single-chip solution for the AMD K8 platform,' he stated."
