I have a variety of systems, all with asus mb's, and running everything
from 2.1.7 up through current on p5's and p6's.  

The triton-1 machine running 2.1.7 consistently showed ~74MB/sec, while
the natoma p6-200 systems running ecc showed ~80MB/sec (both
just-before-lite2-current and 2.2 from about 1/26.)

the triton-2 machines (1 w/96MB edo, the other with 64MB fpm) both showed
rates ~117MB when the systems were otherwise unloaded.  These machines
both were running 2.2 from yesterday morning.

These results are with the standard bios parameters for 60ns memory.
There are a few memory knobs besides normal timing in the p6np5 bios but I
haven't experimented.  I suppose Rod Grimes would know what the optimal
settings are :)
