Please..... Dave, I do computer architecture fora living, and I am
gettinga freaking PhD on it, I know what I am talking about OK?

Shees, I am sure you could tell the Stream guys something that only you
know:

 SGI Octane2/R12k-400 :  514.1 MBps

 Pentium III/733-CM(pgi) :  685.7 MBps

OK?

So last time I checked, 514.1 < 685.7 Or maybe math is biased too? :)
