yb - Don't you think that a hotswappable memory feature might be something that HORUS type systems could eventually support? Might make the Opterons directly connected memory like a huge L3 cache, eh? I have no idea if that's workable, just daydreaming. But I do imagine it could be something that Bechtolsheim et al could be working on.

"You never need to hotswap memory in any server under $50K. So I see that as a pretty much the ceiling of how high Opteron can go."

Fair comment, I'll address its soloution after reading the rest of the posts 'till now to see if anyone else comes up with the answer.
