email to a friendThough DDR3 should become the norm following the launch of Intel's Core i7 later this year, there's still plenty of life left in the wallet-friendly DDR2.
Therefore, users looking for a heavyweight DDR2 solution will like the look of these:
Those familiar-looking modules consist of Corsair's Q2X8G6400C4DHX - a low-latency 8GB kit that utilises Corsair's Dual-Path Heat Xchange (DHX) technology.
The kit consists of four matched CM2X2048-6400C4DHX DDR2 modules, providing a total 8,192MBs of RAM. Corsair guarantees that the modules will operate together at 800MHz, and at the low latencies of 4-4-4-12.
It's looking ideal, then, for users who're accustomed to running memory-hungry applications, and it'll come backed by Corsair's lifetime warranty.
Our sources tell us to expect the 8GB kit to arrive later this month, but pricing is yet to be determined.

8GB.... Really? Anyone actually utilises that amount of memory?
Very few, but we seem to be in a mindset that says more must be better.Quote

Who's "we"?
If you're talking about these forums then it stands a good chance that people will hit the limits of 4gig as there is a lot of enthusiasts around here :)Quote
I really hope it does too - I'm not convinced by the move to DDR3 yet given its price:ram size:performance just yet :)
Very gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
