Re: Sounds to me like San Clemente is a non starter - two channels of DDR feeding 8 CPU's. Now that should be fun to benchmark. I don't foresee a huge issue, except for really bandwidth intensive applications. As I said, it would have to be a low end or low power play, since FB-DIMMs have enabled Intel to match the bandwidth requirements of their dual 1333 busses, while also granting larger capacities. I don't think the Intel server platform would be as compelling without FB-DIMMs, even though they fall short of being a perfect solution.
