KZNerd, <it is not correct to say that interleaving is used because of huge memory. Maybe buffering is needed but not interleaving. In fact, won't DDR or DDR-II make interleaving unnecessary since they provide all the bandwidth that the chip set can deal with?> OK, interleaving isn't necessary to support huge memory capacities. But if you're going to support a large number of DIMMs anyway, it's not too hard to interleave. For example, 460GX will support up to 64 SDRAM DIMMs in one server. It's not going to support DDR or RDRAM, because it's cheaper to interleave SDRAM. But for a desktop system that support a maximum of four DIMMs, going with DDR or RDRAM would be cheaper than interleaving. Tenchusatsu
