Expect announcements in the coming month or 2 from other manufacturers. They require the MP version processor (for stability), which is also an update to the core and a shrink to the .13 micron die. Of course it might be possible to use non-MP validated processors, but results might vary. The first MP processors will be clocked down a bit to 1.2 GHz. Would be rather expensive at this point, seeing as only one board is out. And there is the question of any issue FBSD might have running on the board. No clue is the "Smart SMP" AMD talks about might require different coding. Hope not, might be a while before it's useful.
