<Would this be a problem for some later Xeon at higher clock speed, say 600+ ?> I don't know if there will be a Tanner Xeon running over 550 MHz. I think that at 600 MHz and above, the Xeon platform will have to turn to Cascades, and that features an on-die 1MB cache. Cache speed won't be a problem in this case, although its huge die size (even on the smaller 0.18 micron process) will be. I wonder if Cascades will finally allow Intel to get rid of that butt-ugly "cereal box" cartridge in favor of a more slimmed-down form factor. Efficient cooling is always a major issue with Intel-based servers. Tenchusatsu
