I would think it ought to be a fairly significant difference in throughput, maybe even a near equalizer against the JackHammer.

Just like piddling PDS VidCard/MoBo Video is faster than accelerated NuBus VidCard behemoths at smaller resolutions, the extra bandwidth of the '040 PDS on the Rocket should prove interesting for benchmarking against the NuBus JackHammer. Does the digital water flow more quickly at 16bit through the NuBus funnel at 10MHz or the 8bit funnel at the higher 33MHz flow rate of the '040 PDS.

16Gal at 10MHZ vs. 8Gal @ 33MHz

160 GPM vs. 264 GPM

Only the sha . . . erm . . . benchmnark know . . .
