Serious evaluation is definitely called for. I think that is all I can
say at this point.
When you say that on Northville this acts as "the main chipset". The
typical definition of that is the firmware resides there. Is that the
case in this platform as well (I am guessing no)? It may sound like
splitting hairs but I'm trying to wrap my brain around this platform; it
sounds like I might have received a very wrong understanding.
