PT, Re: But it is the only chipset which supports >4GB RAM. Perhaps the others will add this? Perhaps nForce3 Pro? Do you mean the nForce3 Pro 250? (The Pro 150 is currently shipping and in use.) Why does the chipset have anything to do with the maximum memory supported, with the memory controller being on-CPU? Isn't it the motherboard design that determines this, independent of chipset? (I don't know for sure, I'm just asking... doesn't all memory access go through the memory controller on the CPU, even if it has to tunnel through hypertransport first, in the case of PCI- or AGP-initiated access?)
