NV7m (microatx)

I just swapped CPU's, kinda interesting.

Linux-2.4.17, redhat-7.2 based (modifications for diskless), NV7m,
2 PC2100 Dimms.

Apparently the XP's prefetch helps in some cases where nvidia's doesn't,
i.e. scale and triad.  Doesn't manage much higher peak bandwidth which
is fairly impressive.  

In any case these are the best numbers I've seen from an Athlon based
system.
