ABSTRACT:
A computer system includes a controller device having an interface disposed on a circuit board. A first socket is disposed on the circuit board and receives a first memory module having a first integrated circuit buffer device. The first memory module has a first plurality of integrated circuit memory devices coupled to the first integrated circuit buffer device. A first point-to-point link is coupled to the interface of the controller device. When the first memory module is received by the first socket, the first integrated circuit buffer device receives control information, address information, and data from the controller device over the first point-to-point link. A second socket is disposed on the circuit board and receives a second memory module having a second integrated circuit buffer device. The second memory module has a second plurality of memory devices coupled to the second integrated circuit buffer device. When the first and second memory modules are received by the first and second sockets, the second integrated circuit buffer device receives the data, the control information and the address information from the first integrated circuit buffer device over a second point-to-point link.
