John, I strongly agree with your assessment regarding the effect of 100MHz bus on computing power. Several months ago, I attended a talk one our company's engineering teams presented on their experiments with a PowerPC 603 chip (I think it was a 160MHz chip), and it was quite evident that a fast chip on a slow bus was little better that a slow chip on the same bus. There was not a significant increase in performance until the engineers increased the bus speed (I think they tried 40MHz and 66 Mhz busses) and memory speed. So you're probably right. A 200MHz - 233MHz AMD chip employing a 100MHz bus will be as faster or faster than most P2-300 systems.
