Probably memory or processor busses. As far as I know none of the current high end systems interleave memory to improve accesses. I think the Orion P6 chipset was the last that allowed interleaving? It would certainly be interesting to see how fast a dual PII 300MHz with fast disks and plenty of RAM could do... Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
