TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 30, 2008 – Apacer Technology has become the first memory module vendor to introduce a high-capacity 8GB DDR2-667 ECC Registered DIMM memory module for high-end servers and workstations. Apacer, which has already launched a 4GB DDR2-667 ECC Registered DIMM module, has developed this new ultra-high-capacity memory module to meet the needs of AMD Opteron based servers. The new memory module has been designed to enable users of AMD Opteron based servers to achieve efficient utilization of hardware resources and maximize performance, helping them to cope with the immense workload of virtual server operations and meet the high performance requirements of cluster computing. Apacer's 8GB DDR2-667 ECC Registered DIMM memory module is manufactured using advanced 70nm production process technology and carefully selected server-grade DDR SDRAM components, ensuring lower power consumption, high stability and superior electrical characteristics.

Apacer Technology has many years of experience in developing memory module products for the server market, and offers a range of memory module specifications to meet the needs of different server types. All Apacer memory modules are produced using rigorous manufacturing processes, and all undergo stringent environmental testing (including extended high and low temperature and high and low voltage tests) and on-board testing. Apacer memory modules are CMTL (Computer Testing Labs) certified; they provide the high level of reliability and compatibility needed for sever memory applications. Apacer aims to provide its customers with the best possible server memory module solutions.

Ummmmmmm yeah. I could rob a 7-11 with that thing!!! :eek: :eek:

That looks hilarious!

I doubt it would OC well, but for a normal mobo, that would be great. 32 gigs in 4 slots.

So whats this 8 gig stick gonna cost us?

[Kyro38]

no prices yet :(

[WRC]

wow, that's a lot of memory chips on one stick. Do workstation/servers really need this much?

It's for high end servers and it will cost an absolute fortune too.

It's not made to oc at all, nor is it designed for enthusiast boards. Not that your board will support it anyway, I think most, if not all enthusiast boards have an 8gb cap.

nVidia 650i is 32 GB cap.

[Kayin]

Some of us have server iron though...

[p8ntslinger676]

unless you are running a server, a registered dimm wont do you a bit of good and you wouldnt be able to run it so...yea

[3NZ0]

nVidia 650i is 32 GB cap.Show me a 650i board that supports 32gb.

Thought not.

[Otaking71]

3nz0,

*ahem*

Maximum Memory Supported: 32GB

Thought so.

[hollo]

lol, it looks great. needs a slab of copper + a peltier + some overvolting
or some kind of full cover water-block
:hehe:

[MuffinFlavored]

Ummmmmmm yeah. I could rob a 7-11 with that thing!!! :eek: :eek:

Abeeb wouldn't mind.

[Ad1tya]

z0mgw0w?...

Thats all I could think of when I saw the pic...

Looks like it wont fit in a 1U Case rack though?

[Martijn]

z0mgw0w?...

Thats all I could think of when I saw the pic...

Looks like it wont fit in a 1U Case rack though?

LOL, exactly... That needs 2U or an angled slot :p:

[Leora]

:D that is one speed rush! Bring it on.... i mean max 32Gb RAM?! :eek:

[Zytek_Fan]

It looks promising, because it shows that DDR2 still has some development left. Other than that, nothing spectacular.

[Nanometer]

Too bad Iram support is such garbage, it would be nice if it took these sticks. 32 gig I ram would be nice.

[KoHaN69]

32GB...

are there any (boot-up?) programs that load a harddrive partion to system ram (say 20gb), and then when you shut down, save any changes in the virtual partition to the real one?

So the OS would see 32GB as 20GB C:\ and 12GB memory

:D

[hecktic]

lol this reminds me of the old school memory that looked near identical to that and required those latches on the memory slots to be locked onto the RAM when installed....

[DeathReborn]

Now we've gone from "my graphics card is longer than yours" to "my RAM is bigger than your RAM".

These might make 4S Barcelona (B3/4 though) boards happy, it would only need 2 slots per CPU for 64GB & 16 Cores of fun.

[tam2]

nVidia 650i is 32 GB cap.
Does it support ECC Registered DIMM? AFAIK the only desktop chipset thats supports it is 975X, and still limited to 8gb, CMIIW.

[alexio]

This is the official song from the Apacer promotion video :rofl:

(Chorus)
You're too big to fit in here (DDR1 slot?)
too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here

What a lovely ride
Your UDIMM is a thrill
Your UDIMM is a Cadillac
A giant Coupe de Ville (contains entire recycled interior)
Your UDIMM packs a wallop
Your UDIMM brings a load (warning: hard on MC)
And when it makes a delivery
It needs its own zip code
Nine - double zero - UDIMM

Repeat Chorus

Your UDIMM is so strong (8 layer PCB FTW!!!)
Your UDIMM is so smooth (greasy from manufacturing)
Your UDIMM has got a rhythm (333mhz baby)
Your UDIMM makes me groove
Your UDIMM is a dream
The biggest one I've seen
It's oozy and it's green
(spoken) Ewww (...I want a nice heatspreader!)
(spoken) Sorry (...it's value RAM :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:!)

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Your UDIMM is so big
Your UDIMM is so thick (OMFG 8 layer PCB)
Your UDIMM is so pretty (desing by Apacer ©, London, New York, Paris)
You've got a handsome DIMM

Your UDIMM is so hard
Your UDIMM is so large
My mobo is a movie
And your UDIMM is the star
"Staring your UDIMM"

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

ooooooooh nice... would be great for a mysql based memcached database server :D

[STEvil]

I want 8gb FB-DIMM's ! :D

Thought so.
So that's what, 5-6 boards?

All going by what the theoretical max it can support.

In reality, 650i struggles to get 4gb supported in a stable fashion on a good system.

As in my first post, I know there is the odd enthusiast board that does theoretically claim support for 32gb, very few, if any will actually work with that much ram.

[K404]

Well if they say they support it, and if 4x8GB sticks can be found, they have to honour it!

False advertising through the hope that no-one can test the claim? Thin ice!

[strange|ife]

the abit 680i was the last board I saw to claiim 32GB support, i had a large LOL after seeing the box.

[Craftyman.]

I found this thing's big brother: http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg217/CraftyMan_/bf3d2000.jpg
:D

ROFL @ Craftyman.

Of course not, but that wasn't what was asked.

[Speederlander]

You said:

Show me a 650i board that supports 32gb.

Thought not.
We did. The nVidia spec says" "Maximum RAM supported: 32 gb".


All going by what the theoretical max it can support.
Given all enthusiast boards only have 4 RAM slots it's ALL theoretical, so that argument isn't even valid. Of course it's theoretical, is anyone even debating that? :shrug:


In reality, 650i struggles to get 4gb supported in a stable fashion on a good system.
So what? It's the spec on all those 650i boards. Refer to previous comment. nVidia claims this spec. Now as soon as this 8 gig DIMM is available in non-registered, non-server style, we can test their claim. :p:

[hollo]

32GB...

:D

that would be awesome, all solid state hard drives could kiss my arse if microsoft integrated that into windows...

or maybe a motherboard manufacturer could build one into a motherboard, so you could set the motherboard to grab a few gigs of ram and show it to the operating system as a hard drive, similar to how you tell the BIOS to use a certain amount of system memory as video-ram for onboard gfx chipsets. a program or feature like that would virtually destroy the PC solid state hard drive market (i-ram, nand-flash hard drives, etc).

[KoHaN69]

The sad thing, Craftyman, is that Quake11 will need a video card with multiple GPUs and definitely more than 256MB of vram :)
