Why not stick multiple OpenPICs into one FPGA?  This could be on a PCI card from which a management processor could control things.  Just a brainblip...

Sounds fun but....

We'd need an ASIC foundry, or maybe super fast FPGAs..

No such thing as an OpenPIC chipset just yet. Not for x86 anyways.

So how do you plan to do this? place say, 2 socket 7's on a SECC-sized
daughter card, and have 8 of these ? I think 32 is out of the range for
full AT or ATX size :) 16 maybe
