AFAIK (Brian Del Rizzo of Nvidia confirmed this) 615/620 only added DDR333 support to the chipset. Yet The Inquirer said it added AGP 8x, USB 2.0 and Firewire?? I'm wondering where they got that idea.

It doesn't make much sense to me for Nvidia to release a DDR333 product. The only benefit would be increasing the performance of an already fast (for integrated video) <Geforce2 MX200 to around Geforce2 MX400+ levels (333/2=166x16=2.656 GB memory bandwidth which is the same as a Geforce2 MX400) . This would make no sense in a market where the best integrated graphics doesn't come close.
 
Actually, since DDR can only burst high and can't sustain as much, the increase bandwidth would be realised in fair performance gains.

It'd be nice if they cam out with it, but I'm sure the premium they'd likely charge would make it far from appealing.
