Thanks for the link, Milo. I think their LDT technology will do very well, much better than their 64-bit fantasies. The way I interpret the article, AMD plans to use the north bridge of their 2-way chipset as a building block for higher-than-2-way systems. Each north bridge includes two processor interfaces (EV6), a memory channel (dual, I think), and an LDT interface. Then AMD can take up to four of those north bridges, chain them together with LDT, and come up with an eight-way system just like that. That would mean that AMD needs to release their 2-way chipset first before they can go on with LDT scalability. And like I said before, a slip in the 2-way chipset would be very painful. Tenchusatsu
