Looking forward to the new socket and to see how DDR2 works out with it.

I have a server with a pair of model 265s inside. I haven't had a chance to really make it scream with anything other than Seti@home (linux BOINC client). But it'd crank out about 20 units a day. awesome.

ntel moved from conventional DDR (double data rate) to DDR2 earlier and is now moving from DDR2 to another technology called FB-DIMM (fully buffered dual inline memory modules).

Having the memory controller on-board the Opteron really rocks, but it produces the problem that it's harder to move up to newer memory technologies. You can't just slap a new chipset on the board, you have to redesign your chips.
