I recently discovered a good way to get whiplash... go from using Gentoo

channel RAM... what a change...

Do you think that much of the improvement is down to the Dual channel RAM? The reason I ask is that I build machines to run GNU/Linux for number crunching. When working on large arrays the memory speed may be important. Anyone know a way the discover where the bottleneck ocurrs, RAM, CPU, etc. for a given program on a PC running GNU/Linux?

Thanks
