The spread of 64bit operating systems and the gradual drop in the prices of DDR2 memory is leading several manufacturers to develop kits advocating a high-capacity storage performance parameters that, while not close to those of proposals for overclocking, at least reflect more specific pushed defined by JEDEC.

And ‘the case with G. Skill, which from memory modules DDR2-800 with timings of 5-5-5-15 has managed to develop two kit, characterized respectively by the capacity of 8 and 16GB using memory modules the ability of a 4-Gbytes each.

The target of using this type of kit is clearly that of systems used as workstations, in which a single processor configurations it requires a high storage capacity for producing data packets very large.

G. Skill certify these memories in combination with motherboards based on Intel P35 chipset, X38 and x48, while the list of chipsets for AMD Socket AM2 models include the AMD 790FX, AMD 780G, 690F AMD, NVIDIA nForce 590 and nForce 570.

In every case verify full compatibility of quantities of memory so high with your motherboard, because it can exist some limitations of use that fail to exploit more than 8GB of memory at once. Recall also that an allocation of memory so high necessarily require the use of at least one operating system to 64bit.
