Apple's patent on Interleaved memory should be expired in late November 2016 thus making faster memories available for cheap.
Ah Ha! That must be the reason the AmigaOne X1000 First Contact computers are so expensive. It is that damn
Sony Apple patent on interleaved memory that is to blame. A-Eon must be paying a huge royalty to Sony because the Nemo2 motherboard uses interleaved memory design, so when matched pairs of memory dimms are used in the RAM sockets, the memory runs faster in Interleaved mode.
Edit: I have no idea how I misquoted Samurai Crow's statement about who owned the patent, it was right there in front of me?
