| Winchip has once again brought a memory configuration to market, which can be considered unique in every sense. While other manufacturers may also offer such a quad 16GB kit in the future, Whichip is one of the first to actually bring it to market. It is hard to categorize such a memory kit. On one hand the 16 GB make some very interesting, previously unthought of applications possible, but is not very fast compared to other 2 GB DIMMs on the market today. As memory prices plummet, such a huge kit may become more interesting to small businesses, which use traditional computers to serve emails or act as a file or database server. Such a limited market and the current high price make it hard to go out and scream "buy, buy, buy!" as any gamer would be more than happy enough with 4 GB (2x 2 GB) or even 8 GB (4x 2 GB) at a much lower price point, but if you have a computer being used in a scenario where the saying "the more, the better" is true, and your budget does allow such a memory kit, it may be an interesting investement. We usually tend to give you a score at this point, but the Winchip memory is currently such a unique product, it is not comparable to anything else. So we will let the review speak for itself, showing you the possible future - today. | |
