If you&#8217;re curious, you can see where the memory sockets are located here, but that&#8217;s not the correct answer. The right answer is: Who Cares?!!! Long ago, we all decided that Intel was smart enough to figure out where it&#8217;s best to place components on its boards. While hardware partners may have some concerns, most end-user organizations couldn\u2019t care less. We care about things like cost and SLA, but the motherboard hardware architecture is not that interesting.
