RE:"Yu said that Willamettte will use a 400MHz system bus, use Screaming Sindie 2,
which will allow 128 bits (2 x 64) to be used by the floating point unit. The integer
arithmetical logic unit (ALU) runs at twice the clock speed allowing for higher clock
speeds, said Yu. Willamette is optimised for the Rambus platform."

I still would like clarification...
If the clockspeed displayed was Integer then the FPU runs at 750Mhz?
If the FPU ran at 1.5, yes the Integer runs at 3.0...
What apps were they running? Powerpoint? Was the FPU actually enabled?
