NB: in my system, when I overclock the FSB to 150 MHz and the memory settings to Turbo, I get almost 200 MB/s.
and... your 519 MB/s are inaccurate and impossible!

No, you're quite incorrect. With the latest athlon motherboards supporting memory interleaving and a wide access to modifying other memory timings, it's easy to get well over 400Mb/s. I quickly loaded up sandra and benched my RAM to show you.

And that's in Win2k, after being up for a few days, so it could be even better (Benched in Sandra 2001 Pro). My ram is actually running at 133Mhz CL3, so it's performing quite well against CL2 systems. I have aggresive memory times set in the bios (4way interleave, 4k DRAM page, Enhance chip performance, etc).
As you can see, above 500Mb/s is not impossible at all. In fact, your system seems to be underperforming.. maybe time for an AMD solution?

AMD Tbird 750@1.07Ghz
