richard surckla, re: "The heat spreader serves two functions:" Here's where I get confused. The referenced statement is with respect to one chip in the active power state. The heat spreader serves two functions: Unlike DIMMs where power is dissipated evenly among all devices, RIMMs can have power localized to one device. The heat spreader serves to spread heat across all devices along the RIMM module. But there are cases where more than one, (as many as all chip's on the RIMM), can be in an active power state. What's the power dissipation under those conditions? TIA JMHO's
