    The M610x blade has two full-length, full height PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots - which is a new thing for blade servers.

    No it isnt TPM! HP have been doing PCI expansion blades for years. They sit next to a blade and are connected via the PCI buses and guess what you can plug 2 full height cards into them ........... just like the ones you've been talking about!
