Meathead - While you are talking about the faster system bus, I have a question maybe you can comment on. I'm waiting for WIN98 in order to buy a machine with multiple monitor support, important for me so that I can monitor financial data across multiple screens. However, I've read that it's really not worth paying for current 300mhz PII systems as the bus and subsystems limit performance, so it's only 2-3% faster than a 266, and only about 10% faster than a 233. With your knowledge of the internals, how much of a difference will moving to the 100mhz bus make, and will it really make the faster chips coming down the pike (333-450mhz) much better performers? Or do we need to wait for RAMBUS memory enhancements in 1999???

Thanks,
John
