<Something is funny. I've heard that you can't use more than 8 Rdrams on a RIMM because more won't work electrically. I can't remember where I heard it. Anyone else heard it???? Apparently it's false. Instead you can only use 2 RIMMs. Maybe these are both just different solutions to the same problem and someone decided that it's better to go with 2 RIMMs with 16 chips on each than 3 RIMMs with 8 on each.> I have heard the 2 RIMM, 3 RIMM issue but it didn't mean anything to me because I did not know that the motherboards had 3 RIMMs! Now it makes sense why Intel was talking about BX boards being the primary runners for Q4 and Q1 - not even 810s mind you! It is going to be PIIIs with BXs! Ouch! I had all the pieces in front of me but couldn't see the picture. Duh!
