The new P4s are shipping with 800mhz RAMBUS memory modules. Wouldn't 2GB of
800mhz RAM go a long way to evening out the performance between a PC/FreeBSD
box and all but the most specialized, packet-pushing ASICs?

I was doing some rough figuring, and could see how a P4 with its new bus and
memory  path would have trouble forwarding at least 2Gb/s.

Am I missing something?
