Pete, <You seem to assume that the lessons learned in going from 1 link to 2 links are not applicable to going from 2 to 4.> Exactly. Obviously you think otherwise. <Each step level taking 6 months to work out the bugs.> Just six months for each step! That's proof that you are grossly underestimating the amount of effort required. <They need them to go to 4 way but, taking the second step is not as hard as the first step.> What a crock. Putting two CPU interfaces on a north bridge should have been trivial for them, but AMD took two years to get there. Multi-node is an even bigger step. If you think otherwise, you are deluding yourself. <Once AMD gets to 4 way, going to N way will be far simpler than you think> And once I break 90 in golf, breaking 80 will be far simpler than you think. All I need to do is hit more consistently ... Just like you, I too can make it sound a lot easier than it really is. Tenchusatsu
