Intel had a number of Nehalem systems up and running at IDF. Clock speeds are unknown but there are tons of threads being spawned.
The desktop platforms feature X58 motherboards with 6 DDR3 DIMM slots for Nehalem's 3 channels. Also on display was a Nehalem server with 144GB of DDR3 memory thanks to MetaRAM's 8GB DDR3 memory modules.

6 ram slots is the standard for Nehalem. They will probably make a low cost version with less slots.Casper42 - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - link

You could just tilt your head 90degrees...JonnyDough - Thursday, August 21, 2008 - link
If you have to tilt your head then you shouldn't care about these slides. Instead, you should be concerned with getting yourself a rotating/swiveling LCD monitor and go ahead and dump that big CRT you bought in '93 that is taking up all your desk space. I'm not sure which is worse, wrist cramps from having your keyboard on your knees or neck cramps from having to turn your head sideways. Upgrade!
