Pardon me, but I haven't seen this wonderful improvement. I benchmarked several machines a while back: - a P200 with a TX chipset board and EDO DRAM - a P2-266 with an LX chipset and PC-66 SDRAM - a K6-III/550 with a Via MVP3 chipset and PC-100 SDRAM The P200 pulled off about 75MBytes/sec; the P2-266 pulled off about 55 MBytes/sec; the K6-III/550 pulled off about 100MBytes/sec. All of this was done under Linux; tests were performed with memtest86 (? it's been a while, basically though they were not performed under any operating system other than that which was on the floppy). This doesn't support your conclusions here. I would hazard a guess that memory performance there had more to do with the chipset involved than superior memory technology.
