We are designing a microcomputer based on the Atmel AT91RM9200 controller. We are gong to give it 128Mb of SDRAM, 4M X 32. I am trying to decide whether to use 2 x 4M x 16 or 1 x 4M x 32. The reference design uses 16 bit wide memories, which appear to be slightly cheaper than the equivalent 32 with perhaps more manufactureres. What do people feel, what are the advantages of each, easier layout, better EMC, lower bus capacitance for a single chip ? I am also looking at the option of adding two Ethernet ports but as yet haven't worked out how to do it as it only has one MAC, could anyone help? Thanks
