Your are right that the number of HTX systems has diminished, but IBM, HP (several systems), have servers with HTX slots, but Supermicro have the latest and greatest servers for the most recent G34 chipsets. Regards Robin Swanny,

Numascale did a lot of work to make these cards work and to allow customers to add them to industry standard AMD servers. Yes for now HTX is the way to plug them into systems. As you said HTX slots have been standardized and offered on a few models at least for the past 5 years or more. There some recent models that you may not know about that have HTX slots and a few new ones coming out soon with HTX slots that will support the G34 AMD chips. If you are interested in trying some out please contact numascale for details. Vendors with HTX slots include SuperMicro, Asus, HP, IBM and others. Swanny, thanks for your question/comment.

"Numascale's SMP Adapter is an HTX card made to be used with commodity servers with AMD processors that feature an HTX connector to its HyperTransport interconnect." Surely you dont want to use this on AMD's platform from years ago.....am i missing something? sounds great…..but show me a board that has an HTX slot on it….i think they stopped making those 7yrs ago….ok, maybe 5yrs ago….how do you connect the card if there is no HTX slot? is there a PCIe version?
