Memory hotswap ? Sounds fishy to me, at least on IA32{,e} platforms. Are you sure about that ?
Yes. They are proprietary NUMA implementations of both IA-32 Xeon and IA-64 Itanium that allow all sorts of swapping, largley via a daughtercard (i.e., the memory comes out with the CPU on a single board).
In reality, this is really an area where Blades are more manageable for far less cost though.
