Win,

the Itanic has a lock on the 9-17 terabyle main memory system market, for the moment

Really? Where can I buy one?

Other systems will be able to handle it too, probably much more economically than any Itanic system can..

Take it where someone is going to believe you, like the mod thread. We all know the advantages of the disastrous Athlon bus architecture. Only a fraction of the bandwidth of the P4 bus and it makes SMP all but impossible. No servers, no SMP and AMD is dumping it for their 8th generation product line. BTW, I type this on my dual processor Celeron system. A seamless design easily done with virtually any P6 Intel chipset ever made.

Win - re: "Ok, the Itanic has a lock on the 9-17 terabyle main memory system market, for the moment. ..I don't know if everyone knows it, but the Itanium processor actually has 44 data address lines, which can support 2^44 or ~17.5 TBytes of memory. ..the AMD Athlon processor system
bus architecture is capable of accessing more than 8 terabytes of physical addressable"

Uh...Win...17.5 Terabytes is GREATER than 8 Terabytes.

Did you know that?
