G.Skill Unveils 128GB DDR4-3200 RipJaws V Memory Kit

...which brings me to another question: Broadwell-E will support up to DDR4-2400. Is there any point on buying, say, DDR4 3000 modules having in mind that I don't plan on overclocking my system? (at least not anytime soon). Is the extra bandwitch useful for something, or does any other PC component uses it?

No. Building a new PC is a rare and exciting event for me, so I splash out a bit. A DDR4-2400 kit will not be a performance bottleneck. At least not for the foreseeable future.

I'm glad it is, but that clarifies me absolutely nothing

There has been no attainable performance from faster RAM for a while now unless you do something that specifically requires memory bandwidth (or use an APU). I technically have 1866 sticks and run them at 1600, and I even have a 32GB kit of 2666 and don't use them because I like the lower profile PNY sticks. This is why in my previous post I said I wanted to prioritize CPU speed over RAM speed even on the AMD platform using DDR2.

Also sorry, I thought this posted before but sometimes my work network blocks a post.

Oh well, then most surely DDR4 2400 will be

It's cheap enough, and it's not like I wanna innecessarely hinder my CPU with slower RAM....not that it makes any sense xD
