Eric,

The board supports 64-bit and 32-bit PCI slots, dual processor slots and 4 DIMM slots using buffered or unbuffered DDR SDRAM. When used with unregistered memory at PC2100 (266MHz), only two or three DIMM slots may be occupied.

If achieving good signal integrity is supposed to be so much easier with DDR why this limitation?

John

Hardware Roundup Rambus gets DDR kicking theregister.co.uk

Hi Eric. The Register picked up that story. They apparently have past experience of The Rambus Way(TM) of mobilizing an army of investor flackmeisters in BS generator mode when any criticism of the mother company comes up:

Will the debate never end? We wish sometimes it would but y'know, these things have a habit of turning up again. Over here at InQuest, analyst Bert McComas compares DDR (double data rate) synchronous memory with Rambus dual channel memory. Here is what is described as an exhaustive performance analysis of the issues. RMBS fans, please do not send abusive emails to yours truly...

A vain request by Mr. Magee, I'm sure.

Cheers, Dan.
