is it really so difficult for customers to think about future growth ?! Smilie

Now seriously - bigger memory modules means as well slower memory. Most clients want as fast memory as they can get for their needs. IBM gives you the option to purchase your frames with spare memory for future activation and assumes that you want the fastest memory for your estimated maximum memory needs.

Limitations are per node module (you have up to 4) + per frame
● 4 GB to 48 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 + 192 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 total or
● 16 GB to 96 GB of 533 MHz DDR2 + 384 GB of 533 MHz DDR2 total
● 32 GB to 192 GB of 400 MHz DDR2 + 768 GB of 400 MHz DDR2

there are additional requirements how many node modules need to have the same configuration - as far as I recall, you need to keep them the same or same or one level bigger (which slows down ALL memory)

Hope that helps
regards
zxmaus

TC(9)							   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						     TC(9)

NAME
TC, tc_intr_establish, tc_intr_disestablish, tc_intr_evcnt. tc_mb, tc_wmb, tc_syncbus, tc_badaddr, TC_DENSE_TO_SPARSE, TC_PHYS_TO_UNCACHED -- TURBOchannel bus SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/bus.h> #include <dev/tc/tcvar.h> #include <dev/tc/tcdevs.h> void tc_intr_establish(struct device *dev, void *cookie, int level, int (*handler)(void *), void *arg); void tc_intr_disestablish(struct device *dev, void *cookie); const struct evcnt * tc_intr_evcnt(struct device *dev, void *cookie); void tc_mb(); void tc_wmb(); void tc_syncbus(); int tc_badaddr(tc_addr_t tcaddr); tc_addr_t TC_DENSE_TO_SPARSE(tc_addr_t addr); tc_addr_t TC_PHYS_TO_UNCACHED(tc_addr_t addr); DESCRIPTION
The TC device provides support for the DEC TURBOchannel bus found on all DEC TURBOchannel machines with MIPS (DECstation 5000 series, exclud- ing the 5000/200) and Alpha (3000-series) systems. TURBOchannel is a 32-bit wide synchronous DMA-capable bus, running at 25 MHz on higher- end machines and at 12.5 MHz on lower-end machines. DATA TYPES
Drivers for devices attached to the TURBOchannel bus will make use of the following data types: struct tc_attach_args A structure use to inform the driver of TURBOchannel bus properties. It contains the following members: bus_space_tag_t ta_memt; bus_dma_tag_t ta_dmat; char ta_modname[TC_ROM_LLEN+1]; u_int ta_slot; tc_offset_t ta_offset; tc_addr_t ta_addr; void *ta_cookie; u_int ta_busspeed; The ta_busspeed member specifies the TURBOchannel bus speed and is useful for time-related functions. Values values are TC_SPEED_12_5_MHZ for the 12.5 MHz bus and TC_SPEED_25_MHZ for the 50 MHz bus. FUNCTIONS
tc_intr_establish(dev, cookie, level, handler, arg) Establish an interrupt handler with device dev for the interrupt described completely by cookie, the value passed to the driver in the ta_cookie member of the tc_attach_args structure. The priority of the interrupt is specified by level. When the interrupt occurs the function handler is called with argument arg. tc_intr_disestablish(dev, cookie) Dis-establish the interrupt handler with device dev for the interrupt described completely cookie. tc_intr_evcnt(dev, cookie) Do interrupt event counting with device dev for the event described completely by cookie. tc_mb() A read/write memory barrier. Any CPU-to-memory reads/writes before the barrier must complete before any CPU-to-memory reads/writes after it. tc_wmb() A write memory barrier. Any CPU-to-memory writes before the barrier must complete before any CPU-to-memory writes after it. tc_syncbus() Synchronise writes on the TURBOchannel bus by ensuring CPU writes are propagated across the TURBOchannel bus. tc_badaddr(tcaddr) Returns non-zero if the given address tcaddr is invalid. TC_DENSE_TO_SPARSE(addr) Convert the given physical address addr in TURBOchannel dense space to the corresponding address in TURBOchannel sparse space. TC_PHYS_TO_UNCACHED(addr) Convert the given system memory physical address addr to the physical address of the corresponding region that is not cached. AUTOCONFIGURATION
The TURBOchannel bus is a direct-connection bus. During autoconfiguration, the parent specifies the name of the found TURBOchannel module into the ta_modname member of the tc_attach_args structure. Drivers should match on this name. DMA SUPPORT
The TURBOchannel bus supports 32-bit, bidirectional DMA transfers. Support is provided by the standard bus_dma(9) interface. CODE REFERENCES
The TURBOchannel subsystem itself is implemented within the file sys/dev/tc/tc_subr.c. Machine-dependent portions can be found in sys/arch/<arch>/tc/tcbus.c. SEE ALSO
