The "Pentium" has nothing to do with it (well not much) A 400Mhz Celeron
can route 180Mb/s or so, which is just about right. Most people use more
out of paranoia, but the systems are running at much less than 50%
utilization.
The only reason it cant do 3 T3s (seemingly) is the bus; the cpu is not the
bottleneck (unless your board driver is, or the board cant do sustained
single cycle transfers). With a true dual bus PCI system you can do 4 T3s
with a pentium III 600, I believe.
