Not with a PIII it isn't, point well taken, but with the P4 things are
different.
See:
http://www.gamepc.com/reviews/hardware_review.asp?review=pentium4&page=12&ms
for the SiSoft Sandra Memory benchmark for this marvel, delivering 3X
the performance of anything else tested.
I'm no Intel booster, preferring Atthlon hands down, but a 400MHz FSB
is no slouch, methinks, when it delivers numbers like the above. Will this
benefit Prime95? Anybody?
Best Wishes,
Stefanovic.
