From a business standpoint I can only assume its because they expect not to have to replace as much. Could be wrong.Well, I'm on my 3rd dying set of G.Skills Ripjaws DDR3 F3-12800CL10Q2-64GBZL. Make sure it has the lifetime warranty. Over 25 years I’ve never seen that with RAM before, kinda scary.
3rd set? must be something on your end. i've been using 1 set for years and so have people i know. no issues.Well, I'm on my 3rd dying set of G.Skills Ripjaws DDR3 F3-12800CL10Q2-64GBZL. Make sure it has the lifetime warranty. Over 25 years I’ve never seen that with RAM before, kinda scary.
Same here. I've been on my first set of G.Skill 4x2 GB 1600 MHz for 5 years without even a hint of problems.3rd set? must be something on your end. i've been using 1 set for years and so have people i know. no issues.Well, I'm on my 3rd dying set of G.Skills Ripjaws DDR3 F3-12800CL10Q2-64GBZL.

Viable for who? As far as I am concerned even the cheapest 8 GB DDR4 kit currently available would be more efficient, faster, and cheaper than my 8 GB of DDR3 1600 that I bought 5 years ago. For me, it will be a serious upgrade for my next PC build. It is very "viable".First DDR4 worth buying. Need to cross the 3200mhz barrier to be viable.
Timing will be about twice DDR3 timing. This means the data will have a higher latency, thus slower. You compensate for this the same way it was compensated in DDR2 to DDR3, double the frequency. This means if you are running 1600mhz DDR3, you should be looking at 3200mhz DDR4.Viable for who?

I'm sorry, how is it going to be better? Just because it has a 4 at the end and not a 3 doesn't mean it's better. Current DDR3 will be better at 1600, as you can get CL of 8 or 9. It will absolutely in NO way be an upgrade. It'll actually be a downgrade in performance - technically speaking.Viable for who?
