The guys at Phoronix take a look at the upcoming fully-buffered memory that Intel's starting to throw their weight behind, & its impact on server performance. They run some FB-DIMMs on a Xeon Greencreek platform, & show off the numbers.

"FB-DIMMs are designed to bring the best traits from DDR2 memory while combining a new point-to-point serial memory interface. Some of the key benefits for Fully Buffered DIMMs include enhanced reliability, greater bandwidth, improved scalability, and higher capacity per memory channel."
