Doug, <Of course, it will nicely emphasize the bandwidth of the FSB, while downplaying any P4 FPU weakness.>

You know the irony of that statement? Benchmarks which exercise floating-point (SPECfp, Quake, 3D Studio MAX) are almost always sensitive to bandwidth. Thus, it's pointless to try and draw the line between bandwidth and floating-point capabilities, because one without the other is meaningless.

<On the other hand, flying at 640x480 is less useful, since no one plays at that resolution anymore.>

On a tangent, I wonder how Playstation 2 games look so beautiful at 640x480 compared to PC games at 1024x768. Kind of tells me that the PC game designers really need to get their butts in gear if they truly want to push the experience of games on the PC (relative to PSX2).
