Memory From heaven
What do we think to these little numbers:

8GB sticks of DDR3 RAM @1066 MHz with ECC.
Well done Crucial. I will point out though that the price is perhaps prohibitive to all but those with the deepest of pockets, or the greatet enthusiasm for the best system possible.
Hmm, I can't understand why exactly they would cost so much...
All that money and no fancy heatsinks, sad face.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
That's worth more than its weight in platinum!!!
ECCWon't work in desktop systems, not that it's needed anyway...
Thats more aimed at the server market, far out of the reach of most home users and enthusiasts, unless their pockets are lined with Murr !
However, if you were doing a build using a Xeon, and wanted absoloute dat security i.e. ECC, along with high performance, and you happen to be the worlds richest man, then these are probably suitable.
On the plus side, if you look at the rest of Crucial's DDR3 range, they do do several more affordable chips which might be of interest to some of us:
