There are four DDR slots because the Opteron has a 128-bit wide data bus. Therefore, you need two DDR sticks to get that width. Time to install your memory in matching pairs again. Itanium has had this for a few years now. The last boards I played with had 16 DDR slots or more.

Yes and if I have gotten my facts straight, then 8-way Opteron MB's will also have at least 16 slots as you would need to install the dimm's in pairs to use both memory channels on each CPU.
