Joe, Re: "That doesn't make any sense. How would a CPU access another CPU's memory if all 40 address lines are being used for local memory?
>> Through the HyperTransport link."


I don't think you understood my question. 40-bits of addressable memory in the CPU means that it can address 40-bits of memory, total. Not 40-bits locally, and another amount remotely. Hypertransport is merely the interface between the CPU and other devices - it does not change the internal addressability of the CPU.
