Hi Mike!

Anyways, we've been finding that raw packet passing is significantly
better on some of the newer tyan opteron boards.  But then that may
have as much to do with them shipping with multiple independant PCI-X
slots than the opterons themselves.  Memory bandwidth probably doesn't
hurt, either.

Dave.
