    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.
