"Woodie has the FB memory, whilest Connie doesn't. The former is a server, so the tighter qualification seems reasonable. Brings into question how clean are the signals for Conro, after all that FB is a glaring cost." Yet another valid question.

Re: Woodie has the FB memory, whilest Connie doesn't. The former is a server, so the tighter qualification seems reasonable. Brings into question how clean are the signals for Conro, after all that FB is a glaring cost. It is pretty safe to assume that K8L will be defective and that is why AMD has FB-DIMM on their roadmap as well. Athlon 64/Opteron thrive on low latency memory, exactly what FB-DIMM is not. Obviously AMD would only move to FB-DIMM under dire circumstances. It is possible, more likely probable, that AMD will be recalling more non-FB-DIMM Opterons in the next couple years.
