Pete, Opteron is glueless in that it needs no other chips to connect 2 or more CPUs together. Intel needs at least 1 NB.

You and FPG are changing the definition of "glueless" to pretend that AMD invented the concept. A simple search on Google reveals that Intel's FSB solution is also "glueless":

No need to tell me that I'm hung up on the literal definition of "glueless." I'm not the one pretending like it's the newest, coolest thing in the world. Yeah, Intel's "glueless" FSB is inferior to that of AMD's "glueless" HyperTransport, but that shouldn't be news to anyone.
