> Populated with specialized high-capacity DIMMs (which are generally slower than the smaller DIMMs), this server supports up to 8 TB of memory total.

At work we're building a measurement system for wind tunnel experiments, which should be able to sustain 500 MB/sec for minutes on end, preferably while simultaneously reading/writing from/to disk for data format conversion. We bought a server with 1TB of RAM, but I wonder how much slower these high-capacity DIMMs are. Can anyone point me to information regarding latency and throughput? More RAM for disk caching might be something to look at.
