This price slashing wouldn't have something to do with DDR4 coming into play, would it?

Great news , time to stack up more my DDR3 collection , I have a collection of PSC , Samsungs , Elpida BBSE , Hynix and Micron based ICs. Good timings as im back to extreme benchmarking to hwbot 100% , got back my sponsors of LN2 Linde Gas and Asus , looking forward to make it to top 10 overclockers in the world again , made #9 in 2010. Let the DDR3 Ram clocking begin ... 😀 Indeed awsome news. thank you for the heads up Hilbert.

^ 24gb is max. http://ark.intel.com/products/39723/Intel-Xeon-Processor-W3580-8M-Cache-3_33-GHz-6_40-GTs-Intel-QPI & http://ark.intel.com/products/37151/Intel-Core-i7-960-Processor-8M-Cache-3_20-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI says the same..

I thought that would be 2 years away for the average consumer?

Prices have been dropping over the last month for sure; I just wonder how low they can actually go?

If 8GB wasn't plenty for me I'd probably buy another 2x4GB.

Quite damn low I must say! If my mobo had 4 DIMM slots I would definitely go for 16GB just for the fun of it

Yes. You may have to run below spec speed with loser timings but it will run.

That is what is 'officially' supported. However several have run 48GB without any major issues beyond what usually happens running with all 6 slots populated. X58 doesn't 'support' memory faster than 1333 either...:)

If I wasn't already running 16GB I'd do that. Picked it up for a song too, $75 for Vengeance 1600 and that was in January. Crazy though that I could pick up 32GB of it for $185 which is about $75 less than I paid for 2GB of DDR back on socket 939.
