Abstract
An apparatus and method to permit reconfiguration of a memory topology. A printed circuit board (PCB) has a central processing unit (CPU) connector coupled a pair of dual inline memory module (DIMM) connectors coupled thereto. The PCB defines an electrical access channel coupling the pair of DIMM connectors into a T topology having a first branch and a second branch. The second branch of the T topology is electrically discontinuous with the rest of the T topology proximate to a T junction. A bridge may be provided to span the discontinuity.
