My MOB Design

[Appledrop]

stop ! this guy's a genius! i like the drawing mr freeman! good thread :thumbsup:

grr, this sounds sarcastic, but i really mean it!

Aren't you the same person that said GPU's are primitive because their clock speed was lower than CPU clocks? It sounds like you get all of your knowledge from reading consumer reports and the back of popular science.

How do you recon that a processor can reach 5 GHz based on your motherboard? Generally, speed limitations on a processor are due to processor design (i.e. heat), not MB design. And why would one memory chip be 2.25 GB? Memory is incremented in amounts 2^n. You can have a 2^10 MB chip (1 GB), 2^11 chip (2 GB) Please give me an integer,n, such that 2^n = 2.25 GB.

Why would using pins directly for memory make it faster? Would you have one pin for each transistor in the memory module? How many pins do you want?

What you said is akin to me saying this:

Here is my idea for a new motherboard design. It can have between 1 and 4 processors. The memory will be installed directly onto the processor and will have the same clock speed of the processor, which can reach an arbitrarily-thrown-out-there-number of 10 GHz. Also, the memory can come in sizes of 3.4145 GB. There will also be a direct connection between all components on the board and the processor. There will be no bottleneck because everything will be gold. Also, there will be a port on the front of the motherboard that will come up with inane ideas for me so I don't have to waste my time thinking of stupid posts.

I don't mean to start a flamewar, but this is hardly highly technical because you have no basis for your idea. You said it yourself.

I don't think he's old enough to drink.

The mb design is... cute?

I also have a new concept for memory. I think that we should get rid of current memory and shift to ?direct pin memory? by integrating the RAM directly onto the board using pins (like a CPU). This would greatly increase the speed of the memory, and placing it directly next to the combined Northbridge would ensure direct data communication by eliminating the need for a front side bus, thus tackling current memory bottlenecks.

Direct pins won't make anything any faster than the way RAM is connected now. It's just a matter of aesthetics. Plus the newer cpus have the memory controllers right on the die, so they've already started having the ram communicate directly with the cpu.

To get rid of memory bottlenecks, the best thing to do is totally remove the caches on the processor, and get the speeds of the ram and the processor to be completely synchronized. Of course at that point it would be more cost effective to build the memory right into the processor. So a CPU with 256mb of builtin RAM - yea I think that would be fast.

Actually with RAMBUS as fast as it is now, if you could work out the kinks that come with rambus and increase it to a large bit size like ddr - 64bit or 128bit? That would rock.
