    You are obviously not quite familiar with industrial boxes where this is
    state-of-the-art.

    My thinking is:
    * CPU hotplug: should not be too hard
    * RAM hotplug: has already been discussed in several threads, sure needs brain,
    but must be doable.

    Generally spoken every part of a computer should be thought of as a "resource"
    that can be added or removed at any time during runtime. CPU or RAM is in no
    way different.

    Regards,
    Stephan
