Electronic devices and methods including a printed circuit board configured to accept CPUs and memory modules are described. One apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a printed circuit board defining a length and a width, the length being greater than the width. The apparatus includes a first row of elements on thePCB, including a first memory region configured to receive at least one memory module. The apparatus includes a second row of elements on the PCB, including a first central processing unit (CPU) socket configured to receive a first CPU, and a second CPU socket configured to receive a second CPU, the first CPU socket and the second CPU socket positioned side by side along the width of the PCB. The apparatus also includes a third row of elements on the PCB, including a second memory region configured to receive a at least one memory module, wherein the second row of elements is positioned between the first row of elements and the third rows of elements. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
