     That's a very good question to which there may be a very good answer 
which I must admit I have not seen yet - exactly what is the 'bus speed' 
contribution to overall performance in hard figures?
     For instance - what would be the performance improvement for a same 
spec G4 with a 100mhz bus compared to a 125mhz bus? Or even a 66mhz bus 
compared to a 125mhz bus?
