Implementation
Main Memory Controller
The main memory controller is integrated in the MCH supporting two
primary rambus channels (A and B).
DRAM Interface
The MCH provides optional Host bus error checking for data, address,
request and response signals. Only 300 MHz and 400 MHz Direct Rambus
devices are supported in any of 64, 128 or 256 Mb technology. 64 and 128
MBit RDRAMs use page sizes of 1 kbytes, while 256 Mb devices target
1 kbyte or 2 kbyte pages.
A maximum number of 64 Rambus devices (32 devices maximum per
channel) is supported. Both channels must be populated with paired
memory modules.
