Nehalem EX servers will support 8 of these beasts, for 64 total cores and a total of 4 TB of RAM:

That should be enough to do real time editing of AVCHD. ;-)

The 8 core Nehalem EX shipping date has been push back to 2010. Because of OEM testing, mostly by IBM, has resulted in some new "refinement" of memory management correction issues. The new EX chip with the IBM X subsystem should be a "big" winner in the 4 to 8 chip boards. Imagine how much memory and disk speed required to "feed" these baby ducks.... ;-) Dear Santa, please drop off early big box of above with cooling equipment .... and a few gold bars too ;-)

Will 1,000 shares of GM & Chrysler stock do instead of the gold bars?
Ok, make it 100,000 shares :-)

Sorry, Mike, on this side of the bridge, we trade GM & Chrysler stock by the tonnage, not mere share "quoted" values of yesterday ;-).......................recycling that paper, the real corp value....... ;-)
