Joe, thanks, re: granularity and synchronous...

Cute examples. "bus" <g>

I guess, given the speed that the CPU is running at, the expected wait time of 1/2 the FSB clock actually amounts to something.

Regarding the synchronous bus, what are the 'transfer points' that underperform in the asynchronous case?
Is it the FSB <--> DRAM interchange that ends up wasting 1/2 an FSB cycle on average in the asynch. case?
