fyo, re:<there are quite a few that receive significant performance increases from a greater memory bandwidth (*cough*SETI*cough*).>

I'll have to get around to trying SETI - I'll compare it at 66*6 vs. 100*4 on my K6-3 and/or just change the memory bus to 66 from 100 (leaves L3 cache at 100).

The UMA argument for AGP 4X does not sound reasonable to me because UMA is for low end machines.
