I would think that the majority of x86-64 users have <4GB. I bought an ASUS P5RD1-VM motherboard a few months ago which has 2 DIMM slots. Look at their list of 'hot' motherboards: http://usa.asus.com/products2.aspx?l1=3&l2=11 I don't see a single one with more than 4 slots. 2GB DIMMs are hovering around the $400 mark; I'm not convinced that your average user is spending $1200 on RAM at this point. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
