Scumbria, Benjamin, re:BXBoards bus speed article (http://bxboards.com/busspeed.shtml) Andy Drake's article at BXBoards is lame. The performance increase going from 100 MHz bus to 138 MHz bus is shown as 21.2%, and via a curve fit, a prediction is made of a performance increase of 54% with a 200 MHz bus. Unfortunately, all the data points were taken with a fixed multiplier of 3, meaning that as bus speed rose, so did the CPU speed! "This shows only a 54% increase in performance going from 3 x 100 up to 3 x 200..." The tests run say nothing about how much performance will increase at 3200 MHz compared to 6100 MHz (to take the K7 vs PIII as an example). Petz
