Re: "So this would be a problem if you were using any of Intels CPU's - even Xeons."

The Xeon is intended for transaction processing, not doing FFTs

"This clearly shows why the P2P AThlon architecture will be so compelling even in a dual system- let alone a Quad."

Won't that just move the bottleneck to the memory subsystem instead of the bus? P2P or shared bus, the memory bandwidth is still the limitation. The K7 advantage would be in bandwidth not architecture, IMHO.
