Wow, look how many RAM slots there are per chip... who needs a harddrive?

Why do people still insist posting stories from inquirer.net as if they were actual news stories?

In this day and age how can looking real be considered proof, especially on the internet. If this was a reputable site, we would have no reason to disbelieve. If you want to believe tabloid press, go join the morons who take Microsoft, or any big business for that matter, at their word without thinking. Or better yet, go be a Scientologist.

hehe... its probably real, details released from AMD say it has 2 memory controllers with an 8 bank design each...so two opterons with 8 mem slots is on the cards. Remember the opteron is the big server CPU, it should scale to at *least* 4 CPU's.

I think Opteron have a 16G per processor limit, so two opterons should be good for 32 Gig, and athlon(claw hammer) has 4 Gig per processor and is good for Two CPU configs.

AMD have canned duron and are moving athlon XP's to the value segment,...I think I may have a 64bit computer *a lot* sooner than I thought(AMD is on a roll)

Felt like I was channeling.

I will leave this alone though so everyone can actually discuss the article.
