G.Skill Releases Ripjaws 48 GB DDR3-1900 MHz Memory Kit for Workstations
G.Skill International Co. Ltd., manufacturer of extreme performance memory and solid-state storage with solid quality, has today released the world's only hand-picked, hand-tested, ultra-high capacity DDR3 memory kit for workstations: 48GB (4GBx12) of 1,900MHz CL8 1.65V with G.Skill's popular Ripjaws series heatsink.
Designed exclusively for EVGA's best in class Super Record 2 (SR-2) motherboard, which features dual Intel Xeon LGA1366 CPU sockets and 12 DDR3 memory slots, G.Skill has been able to match its masterpiece of 48GB DDR3 precisely to this board, making it performance for performance-hungry workstation users. Furthermore, based on G.Skill lab's internal test results, advanced users capable of understanding sophisticated BIOS adjustments will be able to reach 2,000MHz CL8 with the G.Skill Ripjaws 48GB DDR3 kit.
Combed with the Intel Xeons 4-6 cores CPUs and EVGA's support for Nvidia's 4 way SLI technology, G.Skill's DDR3 48GB (4GBx12) 1,900MHz CL8 Ripjaws is the best memory solution for building the ultimate super-computer for applications such as 3D rendering, data modeling, scientific research and other professional applications.
48 GB 1,900MHz CL8 hits the upper limits of DDR3 technology for Intel's Xeon CPUs, and as such, all G.Skill 48GB DDR3 kits are 100% hand-tested by G.Skill's most senior R&D team to ensure the best stability, reliability, compatibility and performance. The 48GB Ripjaws will be available at G.Skill's retail partners worldwide in August, or contact G.Skill directly.

You get the picture...
@ $240 a stick they eat allot of wallet.
When using unregistered with a Xeon, could go all the way up to 288GB/socket over 9 DIMMs.
As for the news, very nice. Makes my 2GB x 4 G.Skill DDR2 seem cramped. They're also very good with returns, did it once and had new RAM in under 7 business days.
WOW, that's sick. have you ever ran out of ram on that system:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Am I close? OH WAIT! Forgot to add the SSD's and PSU
How many gigs are they?
Lets say 7-8 thousand? Am I close now lol.
SR-2: $600
2x Coolers: $100
10 sticks of RAM @ $240/stick: $2400
Antec 1200w PSU: $250
Intel SSD x3: $330 to $1260 (can't tell capacity)
OCZ SSD x3: $200 to $1050 (dunno which drives)
~$6350 give or take a bill not including the SSDs.Actually that's a pretty good guess :)
*Doohhhh forgot the 5870! Add $350
2 5680s
sr2
12x8gb ecc 1333mhz sticks
antec tpq1200
4 intel g2 80gb ssds
4 ocz vertex 2 100gb ssds
2 TT frio's
ati 5870
thats just whats in the pic.
when you take in account there is another machine thats identical and they are both in a case, with 2 wd 2tb RE4's in each, highpoint raid cards, intel gigabit lan cards, blueray burners, etc.
about $20k IF purchased from newegg.
If they are close to around $2000, I think 6 of us should get together and buy a set. Then split the sticks up in sets of 8 GB. So that would be 8 GB across 2 sticks at 2000 Mhz @ CL8 for about $334. I think that is a nice price.
I also like the color scheme for these RAM being mostly black and shiny. That will match.....everything I own related to my computer. Hell even my replacement parts for my computer are usually black and shiny.
I may buy an 8 GB set of this stuff and sell my current blue G.Skills RAM here.
Feel like switching to dual xeons with an SR-2. :laugh:
