Bus Speeds
You want bus speed??

How's a 1GHz frontside bus? One on each processor on dual
processor systems?

And a point-to-point system controller that allows data to move
directly between all subsystems ? without affecting the
processor speed?

As well as the HyperTransport interface that connects the PCI-X
controller and the I/O subsystems to the system controller??

Now that's a little bit of power to me... without a 3GHz
processor...
