wbmw,

You're right. AMD is going to make a killing in the segment of enthusiast gamers that can spend thousands of dollars on 16GB of the lowest latency and high bin overclockable memory, while Kentsfield with roughly 8GB of memory support, really has no chance of competing.

On practical level, high performance memory goes only up to 1 GB (per DIMM). 2 GB DIMM prices go up exponentially (over 1GB) and performance goes down.

So, ability to buy 8x cheap 1 GB DIMM actually is a price equalizer, if not price advantage for users who need 8 GB (or more) memory.
