Joe, <The beauty of Hammer design (with HT) is that there is no need for chipsets to enable 2+ way configurations.> You've got to be kidding me. If that's the case, then there is no need for chipsets supporting Intel's FSB to enable 2+ way configs either. All you do is add another processor to the bus. It's that simple! Trust me, Joe. It IS harder to implement multiprocessor configs with HyperTransport than it is with the FSB. The reward is better scalability, but don't kid yourself into thinking that it's a walk in the park.
