G.Skill previously demonstrated 24GB of DDR3 at 2,000MHz CL9 during Computex 2010 earlier this month, but has again managed to push the boundaries. This super capacity kit has already attracted a large number of extreme gamers and professional users who expect higher memory capacity can improve their PC performance. G.Skill has successfully provided 24GB (4GBx6) at 2,000MHz CL8 to another high-end boundary, making it the absolute ultimate choice for the extreme users.

No price quoted yet, but probably not cheap

The pricing scheme for a memory kit of this magnitude will fall in line with the pricing scheme of similar Corsair and Kingston kits. Therefore you are expecting a +$1000USD price range for a kit that is a luxury and nothing more.

holy ****! but whats the point?

There is no point in investing in such a memory kit unless you are running a multitude of Linux and other virtual machine chain's. Even though the most dedicated and enthusiastic VM'ers can be satisfied with having 12GB. The returns of having beyond 6GB and even 12GB for users can be negligible at best for those who have a LGA1366 system. Unfortunately this is a marketing scheme that will always find those who are gullible and careless with their personal finances and toss asides any concerns of finances in order to self-promote their image and increase their 'e-peen'.

Most intel boards can't handle 6 sticks at 2000mhz... -_-

 

[reiben05]

this is maddness

 

[assaulth3ro911]

Sweet.... So at this point in time, who says we can't use a gaming computer as a server, and folder all at the same time, while you are rocking Crysis 2

 

[TFL Replica]

I'm sure there are some users that can benefit from this.

 

[Behemoth777]

G.skill is awesome!

So this is basically for someone that wants to game and run folding VM's at the same time or just wants to have super fast vm's.

Get an 8-16 core cpu (Bulldozer/Magny Cours/Sandy Bridge), Assign 3-4 cores/4-6gb ram for games and then assign the rest to virtual machines.

Own at Crysis and own at whatever else pleases you at the same time

Do any machines other than serious commercial video editing rigs and things like that need this much RAM? (besides servers of course). Because those are not gonna be OC'ed.

You never know, OCN servers could be overclocked - it would be most fitting.

But your point is valid - I think specialist rigs such as those used as servers, video editors and for military/scientific use could benefit from this, but for the ordinary home user it's just overkill.

The problem with this statement is that military/scientific users typically don't overclock because they place significantly higher priority on factors such as ruggedness, lifetime and stability.

Shoot, two 4 gigs sticks would be sweet.

 

[88EVGAFTW]

Good luck getting all 6 sticks to run at 2000Mhz Cas 8, you'll need some mighty Vtt voltage and QPI PLL adjustments.

wtb for new photoshop computer...
I routinely use photoshop illustrator dreamweaver and bridge at work with a memory usage of roughly 6gb's when i'm working on "many" things... this i do want. i would never stop working because of lack of memory ever ever again.
someday....

 

[obsidian86]

does it smell like they made this to go with the Evga sr2?

 

[mikeguy3086]

The dude with 6 gigz for Photoshop and Illustrator, that is more than enough. I'm a VFX Artist, I wish I could have a machine with 32 gigz of ram in it. Also to the guy who said it's for gullible people and the like, try having a 3d/compositing/editing software open at the same time. The more ram the better.

Not always true... The program in my sig will happily benefit from 24GB of RAM.

I'm not even a heavy Max user and I saw my RAM usage increase to 97% with 4GB.

Hell, loading 3DS Max requires ~450MB of RAM.

You have 4GB of RAM (count it 4)

24/4=6

24GB is 6 times the amount of ram you currently have

now tell me, if you manage to do a project that eats up even 8GB of that
how much stutter are you getting from the CPU which is holding you back?
