Maybe they meant 1.5 times as fast? Ideally it can't go any faster than
8x an Intel 32 bit 3200 CPU with an 800 FSB. That is if it can move twice as many
instructions along with twice as much data simultaneously twice as fast over
the FSB. So claims of 15x I am very skeptical of.

LOX? (Maybe NASA can spare some liquid oxygen). ;)
