    There's an "IF"? You mean there is any substance to what KennyR claimed a year ago? ;-)

    > the expansion bus of the 970MP has a LOT of PCI-E lanes.

    The PPC970MP provides no PCIe at all, but connects via Elastic Interface to the IBM CPC945 (aka Apple "U4"), which in turn connects via HyperTransport to the ServerWorks HT-2000 (aka Broadcom BCM5780). The 16 lanes for the x16 slot are provided by the CPC945/U4, while the other 16 lanes for the x8 slot and the two x4 slots are provided by the HT-2000/BCM5780.

    Cool, I never really researched that, but it makes sense since the 970 isn't really a SOC.
    Hyper Transport...like AMD uses.
    Thanks for all the documentation.

    And, btw, no there is no indication from anyone that those assertions by KennyR are correct.
    The only reason I have heard for the delays related to 3.10 revolve around the code that had to be replaced.
