Re: "i840 Carmel mobo details leak"

As is often the case, this post from the Register makes no sense.

"It will come with support for up to 2Gb of memory, and four 168-pin RIMM (Rambus) sockets, supporting speeds of 600MHz and 800MHz. That indicates that Intel's problem with Rambus memory may be confined to the i820 Camino chipset only."

That would require 512M per RIMM. Those aren't available. Furthermore, if rumors are true, Carmel has 2 RamBus ports. So 4 sockets for 2 ports means 2 per port. That's a configuration that is known to work for Camino as well. So, in the absence of 3 or 4 sockets per port, it would appear that Carmel has exactly the same problem Camino has.
