Hmm, those memory benches are very disappointing.

Not the greatest analysis, since the P4 did have pretty good memory bandwidth (for the period).
And, for some reason the X5000/40 has slightly better bandwidth.
The really telling thing is how poorly the X5000 compares to the X1000.
So, just how accurate are these figures?
And, I wish we could get a better idea of how this compares to the quad G5, but that comparison can only occur under Linux right now.
You had me wondering why an advocate for the X5000 would suddenly be recommending the G5.
The X4 PCI-E slot is not that big a deal for me (it should be adequate for the cards that are suited to linux and NG OS').
But these other issues are...unsettling.
