cheryl - Has a higher bandwidth on its PCI I/O slots (over 3x higher) now we're getting ridiculous. Do you know what the maximum theoretical bandwidth of the PCI bus is? In 33MHz and 66MHz bus, with 32 or 64 bit I/O, CPQ and anyone else who follows the spec can achieve about 90% utilization under controlled conditions. I don't know who thought up the 3X claim but this is kind of like claiming 3X voltage out of a 110V line. From an engineering perspective it's just nonsense. But no one can claim your a quitter, keep that SPAM coming.
