G.Skill Starts Offering 8GB and 16GB DDR2-800 Memory Kits

malware · Mar 20, 2008

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.

Wow. How awesome would that be if these were Micron D9GMH

A man can dream, can't he? :roll:

Wile E · Mar 20, 2008

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.

intel igent · Mar 20, 2008

16gb!

thats insane! if they were D9's could you imagine?

Silverel · Mar 20, 2008

Gah.

16gb should be enough to turn off my pagefile right?

lol...

Grings · Mar 20, 2008

I doubt there micron, i looked on their site a few weeks back and there werent any ic's even remotely high density enough for this

edit: i take that back, they have more listed since i looked :http://www.micron.com/products/dram/ddr2/partlist

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).

Nitro-Max · Mar 20, 2008

16gb!!! Holy Ramsinks Batman!!! Now We Just Need A Os That Works!! :laugh:

infrared · Mar 20, 2008

I reccon use XP x64, and set up a 12GB ramdisk to put games on before you play!

adrianx · Mar 20, 2008

silverel : I dont think to turn off the swap file is a good choice, but never have 16GB on a sistem

the good ideea is to try

anyone have a price to this ... cookie

Saakki · Mar 20, 2008

im gonna get 16 GIG DEFF first thing to do tomorrow :laugh:

Morgoth · Mar 20, 2008

can the plz stop making ddr2 and start on ddr3 4gb cheap modules?

intel igent · Mar 20, 2008

these are good for people using SSD's and people doing CAD/photoshop and the like

dont think these are targeted towards gamers/avg users

I do CAD all day on a p4 with 512mb of ram...

Judas · Mar 20, 2008

WOW.....what next

infrared · Mar 20, 2008

32gb's ?

InnocentCriminal · Mar 20, 2008

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

Morgoth · Mar 20, 2008

i want 3x4/6/8gb ram modules ddr3

i also do cad with 4gb on p4

magibeg · Mar 20, 2008

Doesn't windows vista 64bit only support 8gb of memory anyway?

Disparia · Mar 20, 2008

Nice!

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

Try 128GB for Business, Ultimate

Home Basic is 8GB and Home Premium is 16GB.

ewart · Mar 20, 2008

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
