Life is a bed of roses. Everyone else sees the roses, you are the one being gored by the thorns.

Re: AMD Opteron Preview
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.Originally posted by Belwarrior

Yup, what Wombat said.
Wombat: WOW, 16DDR slots? Geez. What were these things running? DB servers?Comment

Re: Re: AMD Opteron Preview
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.Originally posted by Wombat
