At least Motorola has increased the speed of the MPC107. I
believe it is up to 100MHz memory bus now. But, IIRC, still
no report for synchronous DRAM, AGP, etc.

The Articia chip looks promising. It supports a 133 MHz memory
bus and SDRAM. It supports two busses: a PCI bus with 3 slot
loads and an AGP bus, or dual PCI busses. In the dual PCI mode,
I believe the second bus is 64-bit PCI. I may try a design
with this chip. I mainly want to build a server (a dual G4
version of the Apple Network Server) so AGP wasn't very high
on my priority list but support for 133 MHz and SDRAM is.
