They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for hot-swap -- at least at the PCI[-X] level, if not memory and possibly CPU as well. It requires extensive support though for that type of "dynamic" flexibility. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org
