John: 8 RIMM slots and supports up to 4 Gbyte ECC RDRAM (using 288Mbit memories). They must be using repeaters. 4 GB divided by 288 MB RDRAM devices is 144 RDRAM chips. I thought the device limit per RDRAM channel without repeaters is 32. 420 series with 840 chipset for PIII has only 4 slots. PS RDRAM is still $3.2 per MB john

the Dell Precision Workstation 620 has a Xeon processor and 8 RIMM slots and supports up to 4 Gbyte ECC RDRAM (using 288Mbit memories). hi john, nice dig! that is a huge improvement....particularly for upgrading a system. i am surprised the techies like carl and s didn't post that. surely there is something wrong with it. i suppose we may lose some shorts now...likely they will take their big profits and go short dell for being so dumb. uw yup! dell, sony, matsushita....what a bunch of dummies! maybe s and carl should e-mail them...maybe dell and sony haven't got the word that ddrdram is coming soon.
