Elmer <<That would require 512M per RIMM. Those aren't available.>> Not now but when they are available in 00 it will support them 840 chipset will be around for 2-3 years. << 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.>> It has 2 sockets per port so I believe you meant to say that it doesn't have Camino problem. My only question is does one get any performance benefit from using Oregon mobo @$ 300 with 2 RMBS channels, higher priced RDRAM and utilizing modestly priced Intel microprocessors that are under $400 vs $90 BX mobo, cheaper SDRAM and same speed microprocessors. Any ideas Tench or open minded EE re Intel platform so that by definition excludes you bilow.
