Nice find :). But it seems that many people are forgetting one thing regarding the memory-bus: in dual-processor (or more) setups, the width of the memory-bus increases. Since each CPU has it's own memory, but they can also access the memory of the other CPU(s), it increases the overall bandwidth. So dual-processor system has 128bit memory-bus since it has two processors with their own RAM with 64bit bus, but they can also access the RAM of the other CPU (that has 64bit memory-bus). Downside is that the latency increases a bit.

I can't believe all the chipsets the hammer is going to have supporting it. AMD is also making it's own chipset.
