You could add layers to reduce increased line noise with a multiple channel DDR solution, but the pin count problem is still there...
Maybe a new serial technology like DDR-II which is serial just like RBDRAM would be the answer, but there is not enogh info regarding this yet.

Plus, having to install RIMM's in units of 4 eliminates the ability of the consumer to do much serious upgrading - in order to upgrade, they'd have to buy 4 RIMM's of the same type! Common', though I know the vast majority of corporate users don't do that, some do, and that'd be a major pain/expense. Especially if there were only 4 RIMM slots - you'd have to throw them all out! Otherwise, you could have 8 RIMM slots, but that just takes up a lot of space, increasing the size of the board - would Intel really want to do that?

Good point!
