I thought Ike was hanging off of "Stretch" like this:
CPU --+-- CPU RAM CPU --+-- CPU
DEW ||||| DEW
+----------------- Stretch ----------------+
DEW | | DEW
CPU --+-- CPU IKE IKE CPU --+-- CPU
||...|| ||...||
12 ropes 12 ropes
DEW == Runway to Merced bus converter
IKe == I/O Controller (DMA Coherency and IO MMU)
10 PCI slots are "Twin Turbo" (Double Rope) and two are "Turbo" (singl
rope). "Core I/O" gets the remaining two ropes.
However, the original N-class has been replaced with rp7410.
Not sure if when the switchover took place.
rp7410 is now kin to Superdome (HalfDome) and rp8400 (QuarterDome)
and is based on a follow-on chipset.

ps. We are completely under representing the complexity of "RAM" and all
the memory controllers that made this such a hot box 4 years ago.
