Oh sure. I'm running two SM100's at home right now. But the mere fact that
they boot does not justify their existence ;).

"Useless" might have been a slight exaggeration. But the bodoman guy goes
waaay the other way by hyping them up so high. He also claims that they
have L2 cache and L2 cache controllers, which (acc. to the MBus reference)
they don't.
