I have never seen a technical summary of the models XMS or Y/MP-EL.  

What are their vital statistics? 

If the XMS is really X/MP compatible, then I guess all I need is the
clock speed.  If not, what is the maximum sustainable memory bandwidth
from main memory to vector registers?

Ditto for the YMP/EL.

Thanks!
