The Inq reports that Hynix was showing an 8GB Metaram module - that's right, 8GB on one dimm module - with three of these puppies you could put a whopping 24GB of DDR3 on a Nehalem board! Even Vista should run pretty good on such a setup :-)

Reportedly there were also Nehalem systems on display all over the show floor, however Intel was not exactly forthcoming with what speed they were running at. Charlie of the Inq managed to take a peek, and apparently the processors were reporting that they were built with 2.53GHz Nehalems, but apparently the chips were underclocked to 2.13GHz. Don't worry, this must be early silicon.

Impress managed to take a snapshot of a very nice looking Intel Netbook prototype - looking very high tech, and not ugly at all, a great improvement from its OLPC competitors. Linux based with an Atom CPU - that's all Engadget can tell us about it for now.
