EP, <how does this chipset allow for adding an unlimited number of ports without cascading them?> The chipset comprises a variety of complex multiplexors (Dchips, Cchips, Pchips), each with several clock-forwarding p2p links and support for two processors. Interconnecting them into a complex N-dimensional topology allows for effective multiprocessor configuration. Some technicals can be found here: alpha-processor.com and some implementation: alpha-processor.com Since the K7 has the same EV6-bus and is compatible with Tsunami boards, you may be able to extract some information about how Athlons work and clear your concerns and FUD about pincounts you have had in the past. Happy extracting.
