zOMG! 4GB module from G.Skill (DDR2 800, 6-6-6-18)

Obviously not a good value but I guess there are certain hardcore nuts out there that might want to run 16GB on a mainstream motherboard.

I need one of those but ECC and NON REGISTERED!

I'm not sure a lot of mainstream motherboards support 4GB sticks, but I could be wrong.

Nothing on the consumer level Intel side supports 4 GB dimms right now, does it?
What mobos out there presently support this?

Server boards will support 8GB+ DIMMS. FBDIMMS that is.

The X38/48 chips should support 4GB modules but only two since the max memsize is 8GB.

You guys are right, I did some searching and it turns out that no mainstream motherboards actually seem to support > 8GB.

So now we need 8GB sticks! Hate to see the timings on such dense memory.

On a related note, if we can smash so much memory into one stick, why don't we make them smaller?

But oh well, the performance of my virtual machines makes up for it.

Pretty much sums up what these would be mainly used for.
