@ Blitter
I totally agree, but what is holding up the development of frontside bus speeds?

If the bus ran the same frequency as the CPUs would this make the whole computer very hot?

I think they should go for distributed processing with slower(cooler?) chips.  Then they need to work on the efficiency of the whole system. At the moment it seems that CPU speed means all.
