    why can't we get this ram layout with desktop mobos?

    Assuming you're taking about the 8 dimm board, lack of clearance for anything but watercoolers probably. The large open area around the CPU socket on consumer boards is mandated by Intel (and AMD) to give room for larger tower heat sinks.

    I understand that, but it's not like the keep out zone for desktop sockets is so large that 4 RAM slots can't be rotated 90d to fit

    That wouldn't fit int he standard 9.6" ATX width. The last boards that did that has significantly smaller CPU sockets and smaller cooler designs, EG socket 370

    Are the the first two boards intended to be used with PCIe riser cables? The first 4 slots won't support anything bigger than a half length card before the CPU cooler or ram gets in the way.

    The last sentence unfortunately contains a key statement: no words on pricing yet. Please update when Gigabyte and others have MoBos with pricing - Thanks!

    With some IL Xeons now almost "affordable" (check the prices of some 24 core chips), those CPUs plus the right motherboard might make for good competitors to some Threadripper Workstations

    I'm wondering, anyone out there trying to link multiple 2demensional circuits across 3dimensions? Stacking multiple integrated circuits on top of each other, may exploit what engineers call "cross talk", otherwise called "noise" I only ask this question, because I come from the world of biology, neurology, and linguistics. Where things initially happen rather slowly, but at the end of the day, so many things (if there alive) are remarkably tough and robust.

    How to do this? I'm not an engineer (or play one on TV), so I don't see things as mathematical absolutes. Not 1's and 0's, yes or no, or simplistic digital mechanisms. Yes, digital technology has vastly improved our ability to process data. But it has not allowed us to differentiate data from information, or ini

    I want to propose, a way for our engineers to deal with the truly vast amount of communications we can suck up. Picture being in a huge auditorium, or conference room, or even a sports stadium. Ever wonder how among tens of thousands of individuals, each of us can selectively hear what one person says to us? Trying to ignore what someone says to you, and you DON"T want to hear them, is actually far more difficult to do. Honestly, is there anyone out there, who has had someone trying to talk to you, that you DID NOT want to hear?

    In communication's linguistics one way to understand the intent behind what some one is saying, is to introduce a "change agent" into the conversation. A person can introduce a subtle variable into a conversation that may change a subtle aspect of a conversation, but not effect the overall context of a conversation. With all we can "intercept", IMO, the more effective way is to apply certain "change agents" to what we listen to.
