Chuck,

Choking the FSB of Willamette to make SMP systems would probably result in a performance hit that makes such an effort meaningless. (Scumbria, Kap any guesses on what the performance penalty would be if the FSB is throttled down to 100MHz?)

I wouldn't think that it would make a huge difference (<10%). The small L1 data cache however is a serious problem.
