Tench. The Hyundai MB appears to have four DDR/DIMM slots. The IWILL and Gigabyte both had three DDR/DIMM slots. I just went by the foto's. (Here's the Hyundai MB). tomshardware.com The IWILL and VIA boards clearly have three DDR slots, and the Gigabyte look's like three from the foto's. tomshardware.com No way to know how many layers from the foto's, but I'm sure you're right in that three and four DIMM MB's will use six layers. Until we see the products in production, it's all speculative. Still waiting to see real world Benchmarks on these things. That will be the second most interesting of all. The most interesting will be P4, of course. (BTW, I still think SDRAM will have 80% share next year). <G> JMHO's

Tenchusatsu, I have no idea why the spec hasn't been extended to three DIMMs yet. I'm sure the idiots that buy that unstable junk will be the first ones to find out why. This is where I give full credit to Intel. They take full responsibility for their products. No such thing exists with AMD, VIA, ALi, or any of the mobo makers who are not a one stop shop like Intel is. Witness all the unstable SDRAM boards out there. It's a finger pointing game. Witness the 1 million KX133 boards who are sitting unsold due to the instability and slotA-socketA issues, that neither AMD nor VIA are willing to accept responsibility. At least Intel takes responsibility for all their products. This is why AMD will never be able to penetrate the business market. The business market will never be able to accept the marginal and unstable products that comes from having 10 parties being involved. They want a one stop shop that will take full responsibility when things don't work right. AMD will never amount to anything more than a bad copy of Intel CPUs.

Re: I have no idea why the spec hasn't been extended to three DIMMs yet. The 820 episode was scary for everybody. 3 RIMMs looked OK through most validation testing too. Most users are OK with 2 DIMMs, why take a chance? Dan
