It might be worth noting though. I know SMP boxes are becoming more
common with the advent of cheap dual celeron boards. The very popular
BP6 has a similar problem... *and* if you enable MPS 1.4 on it you get
exactly half the memory throughput (aherick confirmed I wasn't smoking
something:).

What does MPS 1.4 buy you anyway?
