single socket intel chipsets don't support fb dimms (or registered for that matter) so you don't get either huge capacity dimms or a large number of sockets. not to say that one couldn't be built, but it isn't (and fbdimms are needlessly expensive and power hungry for most desktop applications). > -- greg > > > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
