Dear Combjelly: Actually with DCA, I/O could be put in a string with two CPUs as end points. That way if any one CPU or component fails, you could still get to all of the others. And you can design more I/O strings into the system HT network so that every component has a hot backup. As you stated, if the Intel NB dies, their system is down. DCA 2.0 allows hot swapping of the failed component. That might force all HT connected components to be socketed in some way. Then any failure can be fixed, while the rest of the system continues to process, bringing the system back to full capability. Pete
