As I can be safe here on CCC from flame wares, I dare to ask the
following question ;-):

I always thought that the current PPC designs were completely memory
starved (even compared with the also not brilliant Intel architecture),
i.e. 50 Mhz bus speed etc. Has this changed recently? Most reviews
completely ignore the memory bandwidth issue which is extremely
important for chess programs, of course.

Please enlighten me ...
