Re: "These boards support 16x256MB RDRAM or are there larger module sizes available or is this the limit of the chipset rather than current modules available? " The Compaq server in question used a Xeon/i840 chip set. The i840 supports up to 4 GBytes of DRDRAM memory (repeaters may be required). The Pentium 4/i850 supports up to 2 GBytes DRDRAM memory. 512 MegaByte RDRDAM modules are required to reach the Max Memory limit and these are available from both Kingston Technology and Simple Technology. {========================================} Wednesday April 25, 8:09 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Kingston Technology Company, Inc. Kingston First in Memory Enhancement Industry To Receive Intel RIMM Validation for 512MB RIMM Modules Kingston Ships 512MB 800MHz RIMM Modules to Customers FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Kingston® Technology Company, Inc., the world's leading independent manufacturer of memory products, announced today that its 512MB 800MHz RIMM modules have passed Intel® Corporation's Validation Testing on the Intel 850GB chipset platform. Kingston is first in the memory enhancement industry to offer the highest density 512MB RIMM modules, running up to 800MHz. The modules are based on the newly released 256-megabit RDRAM chips from several semiconductor manufacturers. (Photo: newscom.com ) Available now, the high-density 512MB RIMM modules are well suited for high-end customers with memory intensive applications that have invested in the Intel Pentium® 4 platform. Complementing the Pentium 4 chipset with Kingston 512MB RIMM memory will allow users to maximize their system's memory capacity and reach new levels of performance. ``This successful validation of Kingston's newest RIMM modules confirms Kingston's engineering and production capabilities to produce fully-compliant RIMM modules,'' said Wai Szeto, Vice President, Strategic Business Development, Kingston. ``Kingston continues to ramp up RIMM module shipments in support of the Intel Pentium 4, and expects shipments to steadily increase in the first half of 2001,'' added Szeto. ``Kingston's successful validation of 512MB RIMM modules will provide the industry with much needed high capacity modules,'' said Steve Chen at Rambus Inc. ``Users running demanding applications require the largest memory configuration to achieve optimum performance and with all four RIMM sockets populated, Kingston can provide customers with 2GB of memory.'' Kingston's RIMM module designs first go through extensive engineering testing, prior to being sent to Intel for system validation testing. Test results, which demonstrate Kingston's RIMM modules can be found on the Intel website at: developer.intel.com Further information on Kingston validated RIMM modules and on its global manufacturing centers can be obtained on the Kingston Technology website: kingston.com. RIMM and Continuity RIMM module data sheets can be found at valueram.com.
