and i thought DDR2 was done at 2GB sticks.....
guess not, check these out.....

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

who is crazy enough to get these for a 64 bit OS?

what motherboards can even take those?

EDIT: if you thought that was bad...... look at this
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Quad Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

i could sit down with popcorn and watch peoples expressions after looking at the price though......

but once other companies see that set of RAM, theyre gonna scramble to get their own to market..... dont you just love competition?

Theres really no need for more than 8GB of RAM at this point. 16GB is just E-Peen, not to mention the performance of that RAM is terrible, and because of the densities of the IC's I wouldnt expect much out of them in terms of Overclocking.

"16GB is just E-Peen"

lol. how could i counter something like that?
there must be a need for user to expand the amount of memory on a certain system, i'm sure there will be some users who want to use the amount of memory.

Um, not even the x38 supports beyond 2gb per stick... (or at least that's what is stated in the manuals)

I would suspect the the P38 or whatever intel's next newest chipset is, that will also support DDR2 still.. will have 4gb stick support ?

X38/48 and P35 can run it with increased memory controller voltage, and NB voltage

And P45 the next chipset from Intel is only DDR3 currently (im sure vendors will do DDR2 version) and it will use ICH10 which has no PCI support, and will need tiered vendors to add a PCI chip onboard for the usage of a PCI device
