Looking through semiconductor-manufacturer sites and the proceedings
of ISSCC, I notice that there doesn't seem to be much evidence of a
push for higher-density DRAM over the last few years.
That's right; we're all doomed. Looks like the memory wall now comes in three flavors: latency, bandwidth, and capacity.
(FBDIMM, of course, lets you put sixteen modules in a board which
means you can put 16GB in without going to Modules of Great Price and
32GB before having to use Modules of Absurd Price)
Or you can just find the right Opteron motherboard and use regular DDR-2 DIMMs.
An interesting price comparison: http://www.iwill.net/product_2.asp?p_id=102&sp=Y
