Looks interesting, would be interested in seeing one on the cold metal.

Seems ironic to design an 8-way around EM64T, since there would be contention 
on the FSB most likely (although it has dual FSBs). Seems I've heard of 
contention with 2-way systems even using EM64T, so I wouldn't imagine it 
would get any better with 8-way or more...maybe good they have 2 FSBs.;-)
