Tony - Re: ". That would result in IBM building in, and Intel selling more Xeons up front. I tend to doubt it though. "

VERY doubtful !

Think of the bad economics - IBM would have to buy and install hardware and not get paid for it when they ship the product - and NOT EVER - if the customer never upgrades.

Further, as time goes by, CPU prices fall - so it make sense to buy these CPUs - and install them - only when they are ordered or upgraded.

Tony - Re: "That is denser. What DRAM do they use (400 MHz)? Rambus?"

Almost assuredly NOT Rambus.

Very large memories with Rambus suffer speed degradation penalties.
