Hello, been a while, dual CPU mobos

[Byron L. Sonne]

Someday soon, I hope, we'll be seeing those 2 (4?) PPC cores to a die 
from our friends at IBM ("Cell" processor?). That'll be sweet, if not 
wicked expensive. And none of this half-assed pseudo-vector MMX/(what's 
the AMD equivalent again? SSE?) crud. Nice tasty altivec/SIMD goodness. 
If they do wind up in the next xbox iteration, it might even be worth 
picking one up, though I'll probably figure out a way to steal one first 
since I don't want my cash going to M$. Unless buying one and *not* 
using it for games would help to bankrupt them...

If there's a god in the universe, someone will start making PPC or G5 
mobos that are affordable (i.e. $500)
This here is pretty sweet: http://www.apple.com/xserve
and so is this: http://www.apple.com/xserve/cluster/

These days are good days to be alive, my friends!

Too bad Alpha's gone the way of the dodo, and that they didn't keep it 
alive and ratchet up the speed. It was always the champ. At least the EV 
bus interface lives on in the AMD chips, which explains why they take to 
n-way board designs so much easier.
