not a chance. increasing the line thickness to 4mil increases the
impedance by something like 4%. there's no way i can use anything
other than 1.2mm boards. there's ABSOLUTELY no way i can go to 6
layer. and the dielectric constant for 6mil board separation would
have to be reduced to something insane like 1.0 in order to claw back
the reduction in separation.
this *has* to have been taken into account in the design of DDR3
drivers / receivers, that there would be circumstances where the
impedance is off like this.
