Abstract
A memory module includes memory devices and a configurable command buffer that selects between alternative command ports for controlling different groupings of the memory devices. Memory systems with memory modules incorporating such a command buffer and memory devices support point-to-point connectivity and efficient interconnect usage for different numbers of modules. The memory devices and modules can be of programmable data widths.
