John - Here's an article on IBM's Summit Chip Set - which works with BOTH INTEL'S 32 bit servers and 64 bit ITanium servers. dailynews.yahoo.com Tuesday November 13 10:00 AM EST IBM takes high road with Summit chipset By Sandeep Junnarkar CNET News.com IBM is bringing to market a new family of servers based on its Summit chipset technology and on high-end Intel microprocessors. The systems will serve as a testing ground for Intel's 32-bit Xeon and 64-bit Itanium processors. Unlike most chipsets, Summit is ambidextrous: It will work with standard 32-bit chips as well as with the upcoming--and faster--McKinley processor. As previously reported, Summit allows IBM to incorporate features typically associated with its supercomputers and high-end server lines into generally less expensive Intel-based servers. Under the X Architecture initiative, IBM's more affordable server lines have gained features such as the ability to swap out memory and processors while the computer is running. Summit also is designed to permit corporations to put up to 16 processors in a single machine. The xSeries servers, for instance, consist of as many as four processor "quads," each of which can have four processors and features its own memory and input-output abilities. The quads can communicate over a high-speed "scalability port." The new family of servers will be available beginning next month, according to the Wall Street Journal.
