I'm sort of amazed at these numbers, since they're not really
impressive, considering the specs from www.serverworks.com.
for instance, my incredibly cheap duron/600 with pc133 gives:

Function      Rate (MB/s)   RMS time     Min time     Max time

could SW hardware be slow merely because people are using ECC?
this particular copy of stream is compiled with an athlon-aware
gcc snapshot, but it's not doing any funky prefetching...
