I wanted to add another 32Gb Ram to my PC to give me 64GB. I already had the Corsair DDR3 CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 and so looked to buy the same, its not the latest in RAM but however its has been reliable.

Came across Newegg advertising the - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10R
2x16GB - 32GB $254 plus express 2-3 DHL delivery $33.87 - total $287.87 for 32GB DDR3

Ram is super expensive ATM but I thought this was reasonable, its about $100 cheaper than I could get here in OZ. I ordered last night and its already shipped and due to arrive Monday

    i just bought the GSkill Ripjaws 4 series DDR4 2400mhz from Newegg they're 100's cheaper then anywhere else it seems even when you factor in postage.

    Why do you need 64GB of Ram???

    Decent price but if you already have 32GB, do you really need more?

      NEVER have enough RAM;) MB x79 has 8 slots so have to fill them otherwise it looks untidy.

        I have 16 and the most I've used is 10, and I was just opening as many programs as possible to test my new computer!

        MB P9x79 has 8 slots so have to fill them otherwise it looks untidy.

        By that logic, do you have every PCIe and PCI slot filled up too then? ;)

          Hehe, yep… pretty much. I work with large image files in LightRoom and use a Intel SSD scratch disk, however I find as I am zooming along thru adjustments it takes a while for them to be applied. Productivity outway's cost I would love 128Gb but my x79 only handles 64GB.

    • Utopian on 08/05/2015 - 20:26

      Why so much RAM??

        Stuff that can actually benefit from 64GB or more of RAM (in no particular order):

        • VMWare/Virtual Box or almost any virtual machine software.
        • Massive Databases or Indexes (Exchange Servers are well-known RAM hogs and SQL but also stuff like Lucene).
        • RAM Disks.
        • Video/Audio Editing & Graphic Design working on raw, uncompressed video/audio/images (Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas, etc).
        • Autodesk CAD/3D modelling stuff (really huge scenes on 3ds Max or Maya).
        • Other CAD sofware like Solidworks.
        • Unity/Unreal/CryEngine/FrostBite.
        • Scientific research programs (Protein Folding, MATLAB, Machine Learning, etc).

        tl;dr: Sh*t normal computer plebs don't use.

        64GB of RAM is on the more ridiculous scale even for the kind of enterprise workstations you see deployed in Oil & Gas, Engineering, Architectural or 3D Visualisation firms but there are niche scenarios where it'll produce tangible benefits.

        I cannot ever remember seeing 64GB of RAM or more in anything other than servers though, but it is an option on OEM Enterprise Workstations like Dell Precisions, HP Z-Series, and Lenovo ThinkStations, so evidently there are some clients out there who do have a need for that.

          I use a HP-Z810 at work, with 96GB ram! :)

          Edit: Its Z820.

          @bargainaus: You have more RAM than our blade server at work combined. What the hell are you doing?

          P.S. I think you mean Z800/Z820. I don't believe they did a Z810.

        • MMM on 08/05/2015 - 21:40

          @bargainaus: Cool, just for emails? that gives me RAM envy wish I could get 96GB in my machine. I was seriously looking at a Mobo upgrade to something like the AsRock X99WS which can use ECC ram.

        • UncommonName on 08/05/2015 - 21:45

          @Amar89: Sorry, it is Z820!

          I do structural simulations, mostly impact of objects on cool new structural materials. 32GB is used as Ram Disk and I use that as my scratch drive. I've seen max 46GB gets used out of the rest 64GB.

          @MMM: Its a Dual Xeon E5 v2 system with 10*2 cores. Uni paid for it and asked me to configure myself, so I went to town! :P

          @bargainaus: Ah, that makes it a bit more sane. I thought it was 96GB solely for RAM.

          Did you get any HP Z Turbo Drives with your Z820?

          Though, let me give you some humbling figures as your Z820 has nothing on our render farm at work.
          Total physical CPUs: 252
          Total logical CPUs (Hyper-Threaded): 504
          Total RAM: 2TB

        • UncommonName on 08/05/2015 - 22:07

          @Amar89: No, I just ordered a Evo 840 SSD. The budget was exceeding 15k, so I had to held myself back.

          Hyperthreading does not work for numerical simulations, it causes "core thrashing" which results in longer solve time. So I disabled HT from the beginning.

        • Miami Mall Alien on 08/05/2015 - 23:25

          @bargainaus: Yes but for Rendering? You want all the cores you can get.

        • UncommonName on 08/05/2015 - 23:47

          @Amar89: I don't do rendering, the visualization is simple and straightforward (bit unsmoothed I must say). The main overhead is number crunching where all the physical cores are needed.

      That's the type of question a console user asks ;)

      • IceCreamBandit on 10/05/2015 - 19:19

        If you look at my reply to one of the comments you'll see I'm not a console user, unless there is a console out there with 16gb of ram and the ability to monitor resource usage?

    Got myself 32gb (mobo only got 4 slots ;)) from newegg recently, arrived in 5 working days :) Most of the price difference compared to local is probably the saving in GST… but I was getting a SSD anyway so I combined shipping.

    • MMM on 08/05/2015 - 20:43

      I found not all things are outstandingly cheap at Newegg, infact I probably would have preferred buying in Oz. Corsair though does seem to be cheaper than I could get here in Oz.

    I can't understand why memory is so expensive now, and then the Laptop Memory is crazy, DDR2 is way more expensive than DDR3.
    I'm fixing some old laptops and phones and sending them off to new staff members / schools in developing countries so at least they have something, or can start work on Odesk. We give them some basic training and off they go, ( usually…)
    If only one person can work that helps support an extended family, sometimes te entire village benefits so its a win win really.

    I seem to run these laptops OK with just 1GB memory ( Win 7 ) they seem to run well enough to do the basic stuff, maybe i'm wrong, i'm only human so sometimes I am… but I thought there was a limit to what a 64 bit processor can manage ?

      but I thought there was a limit to what a 64 bit processor can manage ?

      Maximum addressable space on memory hasn't been relevant since we left the 32-bit era.

      The RAM limitation of the OS will be reached long before the CPU architecture's. Most 64-bit Windows OSs max out at 128-192GB of RAM (Win7 Home Premium is capped at 16GB/Win 8 non-Pro is capped at 128GB); obviously Windows Server releases can handle much more (up to hundreds of terabytes depending on the edition).

      Theoretically, if you calculate it; if a 32-bit processor can handle 2^32 bytes (4GB), then a 64-bit processor would equal 2^64 (16.8 million terabytes). Obviously there are many practical limitations that prevent us ever getting that close.

        When quantum computing becomes mainstream, we would be needing ram in tera/petabyte scale.

    Guys! Don't buy RAM!
    Starting from probably next week to the next two weeks there will be a fairly hefty price drop across the board, this goes for SSD's as well.
    The market is going to be flooded with new stock, and I expect RAM to go for a lot less.
    Already it's starting, even with this deal, I bought 2x8gb G.Skill RAM a month ago for $160, and now look at the price.
    So yea, wait it out, I'm sure you can wait two weeks, you won't regret it! :)

    Wow 16.8 Million Terrabytes, that's a lot of info. I'm assuming 1mb = 1024 bytes, or 1024 characters, so 16.8 Million "Terra bytes" i cant even get my head around that size. Something close to like 16,800,000,000,000,000

    Better timings, AU stock, same price after postage

    • NPSF3000 on 09/05/2015 - 00:17

      Maybe if you live nearby (free shipping) and/or only want one kit. For example, if you want 32GB (as OP and I both did though different kits) you're looking at between $250~$280 + postage ($30… though in my case free because I was getting a SSD anyway). With MSY I'm looking at $326 plus postage… not exactly the same price.

  • Click_It on 09/05/2015 - 10:20

    Video editing is the reason is like to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb. When multi tasking I hit the ceiling pretty quickly. This ram won't clear my cooler though.

  • Doge on 09/05/2015 - 10:24

    Not a great deal. You can get 2 of these delivered for $206USD (~$250AUD).
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D1IUEHW/ref=ox_sc_act_ti…

    Has better timings and better aesthetics while being lower profile.

      PNY is a cheap brand with a higher failure rate (going by amazon reviews).
