I think with this comes a new standard question of computing- how many WINDOWS of crysis can you run at once? Alas, if only this wasnt restricted just for servers.

Yes I am Tim. And I believe those with Core i7 systems are very mad. So 192GB total...Who's up for some defragging while listening to music while playing Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Farcry 2 while watching a BR movie while on a p2p network. Most importantly - what are the constraints on them? max speed for stable OC? heat? will they have heat-spreaders and have a shinny badge saying "My memory own3s yours!"

Now all we need are some motherboards with a single slot. Talk about freeing up motherboard real-estate. I could do a lot with 16GBs and I don't really think I'd need much more at this point in time. Not to mention the energy savings from only having to power one slot.

Heat shouldn't be an issue at 1.35 volts. They are claiming low power consumption so that has to mean the amps are low too, otherwise this is just hot air.
