Nehalem System PreviewThe first is what Intel did on the Smackover, which has four DIMM slots. Two of the four slots are individual channels. The third and fourth slot share a channel. Normally you would run three slots filled for optimal performance. You can an optional fourth for expanded capacity but it may impact performance since the capacities in the third channel will likely exceed the first two. That won’t always be the case though. You could run 2GB DIMMs in slots 1 and 2, and 1GB DIMMS in 3 and 4 and all three would operate at full speed.
