1000MB/s is referring to what exactly?

DDR chipset bandwidth to memory is more like 266 MHz * 16 B/cycle = 4000+ MB/sec peak. You'd get anywhere from 30 to 70% utilization for ~2000 MB/s measured.

P4 will have dual RAMBUS 800 channels for around 6000 MB/sec peak and around the same utilization -- except when we invent some "better" benchmarks... :)
