When mentioning the next-gen IGP-chipsets you say:
"... corresponding [DX10 Capable] Intel chipset has not been announced as of yet."
Oh no? What about G35? It's been around since Q4 -07 and packs a DX10 capable IGP, the first one to hit market!
My main question about the 630i would be memory performance since it's the only chipset I've seen in quite a while not to support dual-channel memory. Won't 800MHz memory bottleneck a 1333MHz FSB? The review says nothing about that even though the 630i comes in last in nearly every bookmarking... |

AFAIK, Intel's G35 has NO VISTA DX10 driver and won't till later this year. You can read more here:

Note, that the G35 chipset has been out for a long time without driver support for DX10 you might as well call it useless
