<Servers also use what is known as bit or parity error checking memory (known as ECC memory) which is not currently possible with Rambus memory. Rambus has extra bit memory right now but it is going to require a special chipset (NOT CAMINO),and even with a special chipset it will not work with multi-processor systems. Rambus will be used initially in very high performance high-end SINGLE processor workstations and highend desk top machines.> I don't get it. Why can't Carmel (server/workstation version of Camino) support ECC RDRAM? And why can't this chipset support multi-processor systems? There are two buses connected via the chipset. One bus supports up to four processors "gluelessly", and the other bus has the RDRAM channel. Forgive me if I sound clueless. I have much less experience in multiprocessor system than you probably do. Tenchusatsu
