Hypertransport
Can someone end this argument I'm having please.
Now I thought AMD support HT2.0 with their current Opterons and that you can get the AMD-8132 chipset in servers which support PCI-X 2.0 and HT2.0.
A guy at work has stated that AMD have never used HT2.0 and that they are still using HT 1.x, which I think is bollxxxx - (to put it very mildly, wrong).
Does anyone know factually?

Hypertransport
There is a new guy on our team who works at AMD, or at least he says he works there. His member name is: cputrdoc
I found this link and your right everyone is talking about this situation, did I find an answer to the frustration NO I DID NOT, but I got to know your not the only one looking for answers.

Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

My findings were inconclusive...
I found a motherboard that supports the AMD-8132 chipset... the Gygabyte GA-2CEWH

The speed of the Hyper Transport bus, as stated on the mobo specs, is of 800MHz, which corresponds to HT1.x, as shown in this site:

But, then again, if you look outside AMD's chipsets, you can find this one...

Hyper Transport 2.0 specs -> http://www.hypertransport.org/tech/tech_httwo.cfm?m=4
And there's this Asus board that supports "HT2000 MT/s", which relates to HT2.0's specs... (1GHz x2)

I hope that is what you are looking for.
It appears that it does have HT2.0. but if you read the revised section it has alot of issues.
