- Yeah, I seriously doubt it too, since VME bus speeds are in the range
- of 40MB/Sec at best....And we all know what they're used for and how
- expensive VME based systems can be.
-
- So I don't believe a PC system costing under $2000 US can be 100MB/Sec.
- Anyone got some _real_ proof? Also, are you talking about the VESA
- standard or some proprietary setup?
