What do you guys thing about the P4

[Nordwall, Douglas J]

I believe that's really only part of it. The p4 is actually able to use most/all
of the ram speed, so that will make a difference. We have several p3's with
RDRAM that we can run the matrix inversion on easily. I'll see if I can sneak
that in this morning
