Re: Intriguing....

If I may ask, do you mean physically close to the processor or architecturally?

I primarily meant architecturally. but bus lengths directly affect signal quality, power requirements, transmission speeds, and latency, so in that respect the shorter the better. (And to be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a motherboard which didn't have the RAM slots directly next to the processor(s).)
