MXT doubles the effective size of the main memory. ServerWorks, IBM, another well-known computer company, and a motherboard company are working to create systems based on the Pinnacle chipset.
Memory seems to be cheap.
Simply put, MXT saves money and lots of money. Memory is not really cheap, especially when your system uses 512 MB or more. Try the on-line price configurators of Compaq, IBM, Dell, etc to double the size of your system memory. Yet another consideration is the density of the DIMMs. A typical low-end system has 4 DIMM slots.
