I don't think it would matter much. The memory bus runs at 33 MHz according
to the specs I have. Seems rather silly for a CPU this fast.

21064 chip, much faster memory bus. The cache is actually given a chance
to work.

True, but not as fun. :)
I wish the price of the 21064 chip would drop. I'd love to see a PCI board
using that chip along with burst cache...
