Can I drool? 😀

Nice RAM kits, those new Gskill RAM sticks look totally awsome!

It's amazing that 128GB of RAM in a desktop PC is now a thing and not a dream anymore.

Yeah, really.
I'm still happy with 16GB for what I do, but it's good to know that if you need it, it's possible.

yup

Full Fallout 4 RAM disk, here I come...

So that means me and Joe are each getting one for board reviews, right? 😉

mind blowing. i still haven't filled up my 16gb ddr3 (which btw i got for $60 in 2012...ddr4 needs to drop further to gain my interest)

I just can't wait until we can boot to an OS on a ramdisk. If only we could make non-volatile memory that performed as well.

I was thinking the same thing. If someone told be back in the XT/286 days that one day people would have 3ghz 128gb of ram, I would not have believed them.

I hate those heatsinks, they interfere with many cpu coolers.

Only a novice here but what sort of CPU would be needed to take advantage of 128 GB ?

 

[RedJaron]

It's not always a matter of CPU power, but of applications. Server type computers, particularly those running multiple virtual machines, can chew through RAM quickly as each application running wants its own piece of the pie.

This is not server RAM. CPU and RAM are independent of each other. You don't need more or less of one to take advantage of the other necessarily. For working on large 4k video files for example, you could use a lot of that ram as a ram drive to speed up editing. Yes ideally if you bought all that ram you would also want a fast CPU to eliminate any bottleneck.

Servers commonly have 256GB ram and go up to 1.5TB
