John - Yes, the 300Mhz P2 is a little contstrained today by the
66Mhz bus for many apps. However, if you are running CPU intensive
statistical modeling simulations or things like that, raw CPU speed is what you need and the 66Mhz bus hardly matters. It will
tear through calculations much much faster than a 200Mhz Pentium
with a 66Mhz L2 cache.

For most of us mainstream users however, we are generally moving large chunks of data across these busses regularly so waiting
for the 100Mhz I/O bump makes sense.
