Heh, somehow putting a gigabyte or even 2 of DRAM on in the CPU package isn't going to threaten the DRAM market. Unlike the static ram market which was decimated by the ability to put more transistors on the die, there is almost an insatiable demand for main memory. One of the things Intel <i>could</i> do which would rock, would be to create an ECC store on die so that any memory you attached could be error protected, giving rise to a core area that is ECC protected and maybe a larger less core area that is not. So in a 128GB system you ECC protect the first 8GB for the OS and programs and leave 120GB of "regular" memory out there for non critical spaces. That would shake things up a bit.
