I understand your reasoning and perhaps you are correct, but i still think it is stupid...

If you are willing to buy two high performing (because of available bandwidth) CPU's from Intel and placing them on an motherboard with lower bandwidth per CPU, it sounds like a sucky deal to me...

Regarding the server works chipset, 4way ddr would equal 256pin solution (or rather it IS a 256 pin solution) which would requrie the same kind of shielding and technology that is used on the PCRES motherboard (unless they have a special solution) so to their tries for the future i can only say, good luck...

The higher bandwidth per available channel bit of RDRAM requires a high level of noice reduction, i know that, you know that, but simply adding PCB layers will solve that, so why not?
