So my understanding is MCIO is a replacement for MiniSAS HD/SlimSAS (and possibly OcuLINK?) as it can support much faster transfer rates for future PCIe standards?
But like, I noticed that some motherboards suggest an MCIO port supporting PCIe Gen3 x8 OR SATA (8x I guess) via the PCH bus, but...
I'm looking to buy a Tyan S7100GM2NR motherboard and a pair of Xeon 8173M's, but the 8173M isn't listed on the QVL/AVL list. Thing is though, am I right in saying the 8173M is basically an 8176, just OEM only and double the memory capacity?
