A memory module includes a plurality of signal paths that provide data to
a memory module connector interface from a plurality of respective
integrated circuit buffer devices that access data from an associated
plurality of integrated circuit memory devices. The memory module forms a
plurality of "data slices" or a plurality of portions of the memory
module data bus that is coupled to the respective integrated circuit
buffer devices. Each integrated circuit buffer device is also coupled to
a bus that provides control information that specifies an access to at
least one integrated circuit memory devices. According to an embodiment,
a SPD device stores information regarding configuration information of
the memory module. In embodiments, at least one integrated circuit buffer
devices access information stored in the SPD device. In a package
embodiment, a package houses an integrated circuit buffer die and a
plurality of integrated circuit memory dies.
