@KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @Burger@dill.burggit.moe @apropos@fsebugoutzone.org Note the northbridge and southbridge distinction no longer applies because the northbridge was generally moved to the CPU itself and x86 CPU manufacturers stopped providing enough documentation to allow third-party chipsets to be made (with the exception of AMD's weird decision to daisy-chain chipsets, southbridges are now combined into a single package.) I think the last third party x86 chipset was nvidia's circa 2009?

I'm actually surprised RAM sockets still work at the current speeds in spite of all the hacks being used to make them work.. You don't need just low-impedance traces, but controlled impedance traces, and a socket is going to invariably create a mess on that.

Laptop memory module speeds are already faltering because of signal integrity issues from having the socket, and i'm still not convinced CAMM can provide the memory density you usually find on a rack-mounted server.
