INFINEON'S memory division underwent a branding personality disorder.

It emerged as Qimonda, some Latin word that doesn't have anything to do with memory, apparently.

Intel tries hard to push the memory marchitecture known as FB DIMM, Fully Buffered DIM memory and targets the super-expensive server market.

Qimonda demonstrated four of said FB DIMM modules in an Intel Dempsey server motherboard and the board was running just fine.

We also learned that not too many people wanted to buy many of these modules as they are as expensive as Aston Martins.

The whole point is the middle buffer chip that can make things faster but at a massive cost.

Here is how it looks in action.
