Because of increasing heat and sound issues, I was wondering what kind of impact on a PC it would have to place the APG slot in the southbridge, move the hard drives to northbridge. This would create a platform where all the IO devices were attached to Southbridge, and core computing functions were on Northbridge. To attach Northbridge to southbridge, use something like fiberchannel or a Cu variant.
This would allow me to place the CPU in the basement, where cooling would be easier. Also may allow upgrades in a more modular fashion. In a way, this would create the equivalent of a FEP for the mainframe.
I would value your comments.
