That's $115 a gig
Wow
why in the world would they pay 7 times the amount for the same capacity?
anyone in the server world would be buying regestered memory anyway so that's not an argument.
$1400?.....
A 3 x 4GB set of Crucial Registered/ECC DDR3 goes for about $350, for comparison.
Eventually.
Or buy a server type mobo that has enough RAM slots to get to 12MB for much less, and has place for 2 CPU's so you also have 8 or even 16 cores, and you might still save money compared to this.
