GeIL Launches a Wave of New 6-channel DDR3 Kits

btarunr · May 5, 2009, 09:21 AM

GeIL wants to be the first manufacturer touting the term "hexa-channel" (6-channel) DDR3 memory. While machine architectures using 6-channels (384-bit wide) memory interfaces don't exist, dual-Nehalem Xeon machines use two triple-channel memory arrays. It's a play of the word "6-channels" there. In any case, GeIL is now selling DDR3 memory in kits of six modules. Its lineup spans across three of its main memory product-lines: Value, Ultra, and Gaming series. The kits are available in a variety of configurations that include specified DRAM speeds, and timings, as listed by the table below. The kits come backed by the company's lifetime warranty.

will hexa channel exist later though?

h3llb3nd4 · May 5, 2009, 02:24 PM

Lets hope so

can't wait!!

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 03:11 PM

anything on the prices?

mlee49 · May 5, 2009, 03:16 PM

Why is the "Value" a set of six sticks? Wouldn't a real value set consist of 3x1gb sticks? Tell me these arn't aimed at dual cpu setups only.

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 03:18 PM

Value means cheaper... like 6x2gb no heatsinks 1066 cl9 1.65V max OC 1068 cl 9 1.7V xD

Nice overclock there,

Oh and they do come with a heat spreader

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 04:18 PM

I was just giving an example xD cheapo stuff basically = value cheapo can be better then highest quality though xD

h3llb3nd4 · May 5, 2009, 04:32 PM

My generic ram can clock to 1000mhz

but not more than the

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 04:43 PM

still a good OC IMO... So for dual Xeons you NEED 2 triple chan RAM?

Jizzler · May 5, 2009, 04:47 PM

You'd WANT 6 sticks for dual Xeons.

As far as needs go, I believe you can do 1 stick per CPU, though I'd have to check on that...

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 04:51 PM

ok I get it... How does a dual 1366 perform?

Random question... but WTH is lga 771? just a variant of 775 for power servers or something?

h3llb3nd4 · May 5, 2009, 04:53 PM

771 is used in skulltrail. But it's mostly used by servers

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 05:01 PM

skulltrail?

h3llb3nd4 · May 5, 2009, 05:03 PM

Ask CyberDruid

he has one. (Skulltrail is a mobo)

n-ster · May 5, 2009, 05:10 PM

Is that much RAM really that useful for servers?

Hayder_Master · May 5, 2009, 05:54 PM

OMG hexa channel , but i need less latency

If it wasnt' it wouldn't exist?

Ofcourse it is useful , many large sites use huge recources. (Like Microsoft , ebay)

also 771 = server socket , skulltrail motherboard = server motherboard

Alot of stuff is useless but still exists... xD

Absolutely.

With the introduction of multi-core processors, the amount of power a server can have is enormous. Servers with one or two processors used to mean that it only had one or two cores. You'd generally have it running a service or two and it's RAM needs were easily met. Today you can have 2, 4, 8, and soon 12 or 16 core servers with 16, 32, 64, or more gigabytes of RAM running a buku number of virtual machines.

CyberDruid · May 5, 2009, 07:33 PM

Gainestown is already here...but I don't see that RAM aimed at the server market. It's like the BlackDragon 8 GB kit of DDR2 that they marketted as Quad Channel (Geil claimed certain motherboards like the P5K Deluxe would run Quad channel with their RAM). Which was nothing more than Dual Channel. It's RAM for i7 and probably i5 motherboards because of the 3 stick sets am I wrong?
