The difference is that in every other server, when you max out the memory slots, the memory speed takes a dump.... to the tune of almost a 1/3 reduction in overall memory speed. Cisco's has created it's own memory adapter that presents (?) sticks of RAM as (1). In short, the server thinks it still has room for more RAM and it doesn't hinder the speed of the memory. At least, that's how I understand it... ;) “….if they use a Cisco UCS infrastructure compared to an IBM BladeCenter + Cisco Nexus infrastructure?…..”
