Lucko,
Since you seem to know what you are talking about (and I'm very new to this chip buying thing).... I was trying to digest everything in this post, and one thing I read I wanted to confirm..
If I have a Jalapeno (which I'll have in a few months), can I buy say 2 of these BFL chips - and mount it onto the Jala? Or would I need to send the Jala to someone (like yourself, or your team) and have them mount the chips? Or is this not possible at all? My Jala will already have the 7 GH when I receive it. Can it accept 2 more chips?
Thanks for any advice you can give
Regards,
FAT

Short answer, no. Even if you could get the chips mounted (it's very difficult to even add a third chip), and the Jalapeno could provide enough power (it can't), you wouldn't be able to cool it sufficiently - it would get so hot the traces would start lifting off the board.
And FWIW: I've been waiting for my Jalapenos for 13 months now, and don't expect to receive them this year. Don't hold your breath waiting...
