I love all this discussion of the `533 MB/s memory bandwidth' of the 66 MHz bus. Ever do a test to see how much bandwidth you can *really* get? Like, for instance, by running streams? You might be a little disappointed. Anyone know why? Familiar with those thermal throttling registers in the BX chipset? These boxes do *not* have the memory bandwidth people think they do . . .
