On x86 tech the CPU has only like very, very few registers, and     so it 
really needs the next instructions FAST, so a change on the system bus 
makes a lot of a difference, but on RISC, that has lots of registers, 
that might not be the case, isn't it? 

That is what I need to find out, because even POWERBOOT has 66MHz bus.....
