    Ok, when one looks at it that way, that a few people mentioned here ( 64
    way NUMA Systems etc ... )
    Its a most welcome feature ... I never thought of it that way.
    There should also be a certain degree of hardware support for this.

    One could supervise the fan-speed and the temp of a PIII and if the
    fan-speed drops ore the tempreature rises too high for some obscure
    reason , one could give a warning message and
    auto unmount the cpu... and if its the only CPU, perhaps do a "suspend
    to disk" - and let the user see what happened ...
    I don´t know how this is on "bigger" "better" "more" machines like IBMs
    Mainframes or other HA or high performance
    systems, but I´m willing to learn ... PLEASE tell me!!

    Markus
