<para>Using 8 SIMMs for a 256bit wide memory can yield interesting
speedups over a 4 SIMM/128bit wide memory. Obviously all 8 SIMMs must
be of the same type to make this work. The system must be explicitly
setup to use the 8 SIMM memory arrangement. You must have 8 SIMMs,
4 SIMMs distributed over 2 banks will not work.</para>
