Elmer, good article, one exception right now, though. The author makes Infinibad sould like another thing Intel is pushing on everyone. Not true, all the big guns are also pushing it:

Seven of the computing industry's leaders, Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems have joined together to address this important issue by leading an independent industry body called the InfiniBandSM Trade Association.

futureio.com

Infiniband is also the "compromise" between NGIO and PCI-X, which had those 7 companies camped on one side or the other before Infiniband was proposed. Bet on Infiniband.

Elmer,

Here is something on a similar subject - whitepaper about LDT, and it's proponents (other than AMD) - API (Compaq?)and Sibyte (Broadcom): sibyte.com

This is basically an inside the box communication standard / technology, not competing with Infiniband, but potentially complementing or superceding PCI-X.

ELmer - Re: "an excellent article on I/O architectures:"

Bert McComas is lining up against InfinBand - because AMD isn't part of it.

What a dufus.
