This is interesting, CTCM (motherboard benchmarker program) seems to tell 
me that I can get almost 56MB/s memory bandwidth. With a 66MHz bus clock 
I can't see how that this figure can improve much. Seeing as Intel seem 
unlikely to support a 75MHz or 83MHz bus speed then I'd love to know how 
they intend on doing this.
