one HP's AMD based workstation (like tyan s2895) has that ... one ht

Is there any benefit to it?
more than 255 pci buses. think about if you have 32 ht chains...
Sorry to be dense, but how do you have more than 4 HT chains? Aren't there are only 8 nodes allowed in a system (3 links per node)?
If you took out the middle links in an 8-way design I guess you could have 8 HT chains.
for amd family 10h (HT3 ?) will have 8 sublinks...so you could build system with more nodes and more ht chains
