well, until 16GB modules.
X79 + SB-E + 8GB RAM modules. The timing is impeccable, and the pricing is in the range where people who really really want X79 will buy the new RAM.
Manufacturers smell $$$ like a shark scents blood in the water :laugh:
:cool:
"
lol. which game uses 32GB ram?
As for when they might come in handy in home builds or gaming systems? I think that depends on how high of a bar the new consoles set, and how much AI automation and sophistication coders and app designers can cram into next generation applications and games.

Many things i do on my PC would benefit massively... ok i admit swapping from a raid array to a SSD would probably help but who can say no to multiple gb/s bandwidth over a few hundred mb/s :laugh:
