G.SKILL Announces the World's Fastest DDR4 128GB (8x 16GB) Memory Kit
G.SKILL International Enterprises Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and solid state storage, is thrilled to announce the world's first DDR4 128GB(16GBx8) 2800MHz CL16-16-16 -36 1.35V memory kit based on the newest 16GB capacity DDR4 consumer-class memory modules. These high capacity memory modules are manufactured with new 8Gb ICs produced on the latest 20nm fabrication process, which takes performance to a whole new level, by Samsung Electronics.
While 16GB capacity have been available for server memory in the past, support and design for such large capacity memory modules are now paving its way to consumer memory modules, suitable for workstation level workloads where high capacity memory is vital. These new G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series high capacity memory kits are capable of running in quad-channel at a grand total of 128GB, and have already been validated on the latest ASUS X99 Rampage V Extreme motherboard with Intel Haswell-E processors. A stress-testing screenshot of the newly released memory kit with 16GB DDR4 modules can be found below.Following the G.SKILL tradition of high end memory kit releases, the new 16GB memory modules are available in kits of up to 8 modules per kit, as well as high performance frequencies from DDR4-2133MHz to DDR4-2800MHz. The dawn of a new high-density memory standard is upon us.
"During development of these DDR4 16GB modules, we see amazing future potential for 128GB (16GBx8) memory kits in extreme high capacity operation on upcoming platforms," says Tequila Huang, Vice President of Research & Development, G.SKILL. "We will be witnessing the beginning of a new set of standards for extreme capacity and performance DDR4 memory kits on both current and future computing platforms. Needless to say, we are very excited for this release."
Intel XMP Support
This G.SKILL DDR4 128GB 2800MHz memory kit comes with the latest Intel XMP 2.0 standard developed for the Intel X99 platform. It provides PC enthusiasts an entirely trouble-free overclocking experience to boost their systems for extreme levels of performance, while retaining system stability.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
All G.SKILL memory products come with a lifetime warranty and the G.SKILL technical team is always ready to provide consumers with complete technical support via online forums, telephone and email.

Man that is awesome but I cannot even fathom paying for that kit though its a very niche product mostly for the professional world.
Once you understand that DDR3 running at 1600 MHz or higher is not s system bottleneck for a discrete CPU powered desktop, then you start to understand the hype is not reality, it's just marketing. For those who actually need and can use these kits, they will pay a premium for sure and they won't experience a major improvement in system performance over DDR3.
I remember being happy with 48mb.
If you could get 256mb of ram you could create a 128mb ram disk although not sure how you get the os on it though.... It would be fast
32gb or ram is nice when running VM's and editing loads of photos.
I've been saving up and buying parts for it for a long time. My X99 SOC Force Mainboard and 32GB of RAM was $400.00 US,....because the guy gave me an awesome deal.
Then, he told me that he had another kit of 32 GB for a good price, so I bought it, mainly because it was so cheap, not because I thought that I really needed 64GB of DDR4-2400 Kingston Fury RAM in the system:peace:
