This isn't new in the sense that you've been able to buy similar gizmos for Opteron for years, either plugging into a socket or on an HTX board. But, if the Inquirer article is correct, it sounds like a pretty good implementation, with a small interface core that can run at nearly full speed on the FSB. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
