Yes.  I meant "memory speed and latency".  Memory speed and bandwidth would be
the same thing.

However, most (except for Aaron's drastic overclocking) are reporting numbers
that are right in line with my 100-120ns figure, although the high-performance
boxes I have are actually slower than that.  My quad xeon 700 clocks in at 130ns
latency and a box of dual xeons from 2.4 to 3.06 ghz are clocking in at right
around 150ns.
