How We Test
Test System Components
In order to get quick access to a compatible firmware, we exchanged the motherboard of our previous test system with the Asus Rampage V Extreme. All other parts remained the same, and the results are consistent with our previous findings concerning memory density.

warmon6 The random access memory, when can it occupy beyond 16GB of physical memory?
When you add more than 1 stick of 16GB memory in a motherboard. :P
Although 32GB sticks will probably start creeping up here soon.... You can see them on newegg already for some workstations/servers.

TechyInAZ Looks great! Those cooling fans for the RAM look mean, I can see why if somebody bought those for esthetics.Reply
Wow though 128GB! I don't think 95% of us power users even us that much. :D Unless you like gaming on RAMdisks. -
dstarr3 I splurged last Christmas and maxed out my rig at 32GB. I've even managed to get to about 95% usage a couple times. But, crap, 128GB? For non-server applications? There must be so few programs/projects that can actually utilize that.Reply -
expunged I plan on doing 32gb on my new build. which would be betterReply
1. 32gb kit (4x8)
or
2. 2x 16gb kits (4x4)x2 -

Generally speaking less dimms at the same capacity and same clock speed/latency is better system stability, but in this case not so sure due to CPU related clock speed limitation on these new 16GB dimm kits the opposite is likely true.

dstarr3 It is worth saying, though. You don't know speed until you've run virtual machines off of RAMdisks. Makes SSDs feel sluggish.Reply
