Chip Select
Does anyone know the Chip Select for the Nehalem EX (number of ranks each memory channel can work with). If the number is still 8 as with Nehalem and Westmere EP, then even with 4 channels, the max number of quad rank DIMMs each socket can have is 8 even though each socket has total of 16 DIMM slots. So the 16 slots turn out to be just marketing.
Also, do I understand that the max memory throughput is 1066MT/sec compared to 1333MT/s for Nehalem?
