That's where I was looking.  The FSB should be at 1/2 the speed of the CPU,
on the new 1.8Ghz model it's 1/3 the speed.  If this is true, it means that
this new 1.8Ghz system will actaully run slower than the older single CPU
1.8Ghz systems!  Even the original 1.6Ghz single CPU's ran their FSB at
800Mhz, while this 1.8Ghz is listed as running at 600Mhz.
