G.Skill Starts Offering 8GB and 16GB DDR2-800 Memory Kits
High-end memory manufacturer G.Skill has begun offering 4x 4GB (16GB) as well as 2x 4GB (8GB) DDR2 PC2-6400 kits for all proffesional users working with memory-hungry applications. G.Skil said that the memories are guaranteed to work on motherboards based on Intel P35, X38 and X48 chipsets and with the majority of AMD chipsets for the AM2 platform (AMD 790FX, 780G, 690G, nForce 590, 570). But before buying these kits, please refer to your motherboard manual and check if it supports that amount of memory. For example NVIDIA’s nForce 680i and 780i chipsets support up to 8 GB of memory. The kits are tested to work at DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) speeds with CL5-5-5-15 timings and 1.8V.

Holy Crap!! I did not see 4GB modules coming so soon after 2GB modules. And they released them with CAS5 timings to start, unlike when 2GB modules first arrived.

Very nice. Hopefully one of the reviewers can get a sample soon, will be interesting to see how much headroom (if any) these high-density modules have for overclocking.

Awesome. I'm starting to like this company, they're very forward-looking when it comes to RAM technology. Too bad notebooks are still capped to a hard 4 GB limit (due to motherboard designs).

Some (mother)boards support 32GB so it's not impossible...

Nice!
Just need nVidia and Intel to get their chipsets up to 16GB like AMD (when talking 1P chipsets). |

motherboards...?
great, I've been suffering on 8gb of RAM for ages and it's about time 16gb was made available in DDR2.. well done g.skill. hopefully it will be affordable. Whats not addressed in what I would generously describe as "articles" on the many tech websites is WHAT motherboards actually support 16gb of DDR2 RAM? anyone know of a suitable board?
what we need is a list - can we prepare a list? most of them lamely 'parrot' the press release. cheers |
