Oops. You're correct. I was talking about the PIII/800 blades.
I forgot about the early Transmeta blades. Sorry about that.

On another note, has anyone heard of the new Transmeta
CPUs? I've only heard a basic rumor that they will have much
better floating-point performance than they current crop.
We're going to test the old Transmeta blades and the new ones
(when they come out) just for comparison.
