One would hope they also increased the internal cache size.  I'm sure
a chip like this could potentially spend a lot of time twiddling its
thumbs waiting on memory.  However, knowing Intel, they probably
didn't think of this.

I already have a memory card like this -- warms up the entire left
side of my PC's cabinet. :-)  If I had a cat I know where it would
probably spend most of its time sleeping next to the left side of my
computer.  (It's an old AST Rampage Plus.)
