Out of my own curiosity, would those of you that have delt with
current/next generation intel based NUMA systems give me your opinions

I'm looking for primarily technical opinions.
To which NUMA systems are you referring? Are you talking about
SGI Altix systems? Intel's NUMA-like solution for both ia64 and
x86-64, Common System Interface (CSI), to compete with hyper-transport
has been rumored to be delayed until 2009.
If anyone has seen CSI in the wild, I doubt they could mention it.
Wikipedia has a small blurb on it:
