aHT* is only 16 bits wide. Additionally you have no ECC and you use up one of Opteron's aHT channels.

Please explain and elaborate, OK?
Does this mean that memory accesses using the hypertransport (from adjacent CPUs) do not also access the extra ecc bits to perfrom ecc after the read operations are complet?
