The review explains the Aquarius uses the cheaper Opteron which only
have a single HT connector.

We're now shipping a lot of dual socket/dual core 1Us, so I agree for
HPC that is the sweet spot right now.
But put a dual core in one of these things, and for the cost and size
you get an interesting device.
