Ya, ya, Ich verstehen.  The parity-verses-ECC stuff was an (apparently failed)
attempt at humor, hence the ":-)".   <hangs head in shame>

"AMD this quarter will ship the software development kits (CPUs, mainboards,
etc.) to select software developers."

"AMD Opteron A1100 "Seattle" system-on-chips will be commercially available
in the second half of 2014."

"The extremely popular GNU C compiler and the critical GNU C Library have
already been ported to the 64-bit ARM architecture."
The kit of course comes with penguinix.

The bad news is that it has only 8 PCIe lanes.  Are expansion cards
considered uncool these days, or what?  How are you supposed to add all
the essential stuff they leave off the mainboard?

(I'm still seeking info on Berlin.  Hopefully the boards will have more
than 1 or 2 expansion slots.)
