Every memory slot on an Opteron system is "owned" by a particular CPU socket. If there is no CPU there, then the memory won't work. If there is a CPU there, but a different CPU requires access to the memory, the one CPU can "ask" another CPU for access to a block of memory -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
