How far away from the CPU are your memory modules?

5 inches should suffice in that respect; at worst, one could design a 
mainboard with the memory modules on the back side, just opposite the 
CPU (of course this would require a nonstandard casing, and probably 
different CPU sockets, too).

Compared to the lacenty of SRAM as such, the latency due to distance is 
still not much of a problem AFAIK.
