DDR3 Metaram spotted
IDF Spring 2008 High capacity from day one

HYNIX HAD A surprise at IDF, DDR3 Metaram. This bodes well for being able to stuff a monumentally stupid amount of RAM into a Nehalem box.
Aside from being a bit earlier than most people were expecting, there is little groundbreaking news here, it was expected. This version uses 1GBit DDR3 chips, Hynix of course, to make an 8GB two-rank DIMM.
DDR3 Metaram DIMM
One other bit that you can deduce from reading between the lines is the Nehalem memory configuration. Hynix listed 144GB/CPU @ 1066MHz and 96GB/CPU @ 1333MHz, so that would be three and two DIMMs per channel at the respective speeds. Now you know. µ

Is it me or are a lot of the comments on some of the recent articles totally illegible?
No, its not just you. I've noticed most of the illegible posts seem to be coming from Ultie
Perhaps it's not all bad. Psychadelia encourages lateral thinking.

Either that or it's the brain damage caused by running Windows Vista Ultimate (which he repeatedly states he does or is building a box for).
Could the editors please flag the Drashek postings with some kind of alert, like a colored border, so as to make it easier to skip over and avoid the brain-sapping effect of reading the inane & incomprehensible Drashek dreck?
am I confused, or_ my point is When do we see mainstream (such as ROG series) motherboards/mainboards which support greater than 8GB total in all dimm slots?? Remember, I said I may be ignorant. Any thoughts, Thomas x. von-ultie Drashek, the 3MD?
