Dell Precision M6900

Yep, you're right about that, Eurocomm at this moment only supports 32GB, but it's only because they're using DDR3 Technology. The idea of superior RAM will take some time because a Mobile Workstation would have to adopt the new DDR4 type of memory and also, wait for the memory manufacterer to build larger modules. They are already experimenting and producing 128GB dimms. So a laptop with a Xeon processor with 4 slots could manage a large amout of memory, it's just a matter of time.
Of course the battery time would be an issue, but I can remember that the first workstation laptop I had would only run for about an hour on battery, but the thing is that in that time I didn't needed for it to last for more I just needed the portability.
I usually change my workplace depending on the client needs so I need something that can be moved easily. A Xeon and a great graphic card with DDR4 and SSDs would be perfect for me.

 

I bet after reading your comments, Adobe launched special department of engineers to make sure that their Product would lag and crash even on this amount of Finesse hardware. or their biz model would collapse!

 

It appears Dell has abandoned the MXXX line and form factor.

Hi,
blast from the past. I wanted to quote my old posts above because it helps understand better (helps me) why intel went to a Mobile Xeon.... seems it was to overcome the 32GB RAM barrier in laptops. Which I appreciate them doing.

 

I think all the new CPUs can support 64GB of RAM, so your logic is flawed. I believe the major difference for the Xeons is ECC memory support.

 

Correct, all the CPU's on the 7510 & 7110 will support up to 64GB or memory.

 

the 3500 is still a 15" unit.

 

Is this regardless which CPU? I thought there was a difference between at least dual core and quadcore?

Also, is this a real hard limit, or is it entirely possible that 128GB would work with at least the highest end CPUs once modules of that capacity become available? Something similar is reportedly possible with special high-density DDR3 modules in some current laptops, where it works even though the official specs for the CPUs only go upto 32GB (previous gen CPUs)
