Get that 16GB multi-tasking beast thanks to Crucial

RAM, RAM, and more RAM. Just like processing power, it almost seems as if you could never have enough. I’ll be real and admit my grandma doesn’t need 16GB of RAM to check out the latest knitting how-to’s on patch-n-stitch online, but I sure could use the breathing room. And if you’re like me, the added breathing room is more than welcome. Starting today for the low low price of $344.58 USD, bleeding edge geeks can snap up Crucial’s new 4GB 10600 DDR3 sticks running at a oh so sweet 1333MHz. The capacity density means even standard 4-slot motherboards can now house up to 16GB of RAM making for ample storage for most users. The speed is just nice to have, letting your processor and all that’s in between work that much faster.

Of course, with 16GB of RAM comes the requirement of a 64-bit OS to even see it all. With Windows 7 shipping now in large numbers coupled with the fact that only the more hardcore and tech minded individuals will install such large amounts of RAM means no one should have any problems. If nearly $350 bones for a single stick of silicon seems like a lot to you that’s because it is. For now, multimedia professionals are those who will most likely be able to benefit (and afford) such quantities of memory. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait until that price tag heads south.

Crucial’s 4GB 10600 DDR3 sticks are compatible with Intel Core i5/i7 and AMD AM3 processors.
