nForce chipset...

[Eric W. Biederman]

I just skimmed a review of the Nvidia nForce chipset.  Wondering
why the memory bandwidth did not noticeably increase when dual-channel
DDR SDRAM was added I looked at the athlon system bus.  It turns
out that an athlon uses a 72 pin data bus running at 133Mhz.  Exactly as
DDR SDRAM does.  So the maximum processor bandwidth of the Athlon is only
better than the maximum bandwidth of DDR SDRAM because it has a seperate
13 bit command channel.
