Folks I know in the IB industry mentioned: * QDR price life cycle should be similar to the DDR price life cycle. * QDR Cable lengths over copper are rather poor * fiber transceivers are finally starting to catch up. QDR over fiber should be "reasonably priced", here's hoping that the days of Myrinet 250MB/sec optical cables will return.
