Re: "Is this true at 800 MHz? at 1 GHz? Beyond? I do not know the answer to these questions, I thought that was the point of Point to Point bus was that faster buses were possible and important when clock rates get fast."

They aren't at 800mhz yet. Faster busses will be coming. If the bus doesn't saturate with 1meg of L2 & 100mhz FSB I don't think they will with 2Meg & 133mhz FSB. Like I said, (much) faster busses are coming.

I'm still waiting for someone to present a case whereby the Alpha bus is superior. Are there no takers?
