The FB-DIMM, the more I look at it the more it looks like a Hypertransport connection. Very similar. LVDS, separate read and write paths, each controller acts as a bridge... the clocking is slightly different I believe.

The worry would be the latency on the farther away modules. Maybe latency is not such an issue in a server as it is in a desktop/workstation. Capacity is the main thing. Good thing Intel can address these Gigabytes when they have the AMD64 instructions working, LOL:)

I suppose in the server you can make sure in software that the most accessed stuff resided in the front DIMM, for example tables and directories.

All in all is going to be interesting.
