32GB Ram sticks!? What the heck...

Browsing the internet I came across this: http://bit.ly/1NIfAM5.

Its a 32GB single stick of DDR3 ram.

So if you have a motherboard that supports 8 sticks of ram, you could have 256GB of ram?! 

Any ideas why someone would ever need that much ram?

Servers, they need that much.

And i don't think there's any consumer-grade board that supports that.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Welcome to the Forum.

 

People use this for stuff like extreme corporate applications. Take a look at this:

My school runs VMs for the majority of the computer system, 6 servers with 240GB RAM each to avoid overdedicating with 1.5GB per client plus lots of overhead.

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

Damn that RAM is for server, they need a lot of RAM.... Unlike PC for consumer use. Gotta be efficient, put 1x32GB RAM instead of 4x8GB of RAM, fill dem slots.

For IvyBridge DT CPU it only supports 36 bit addressing which means less than 64GB of RAM, also it doesn't appear to support 16GB modules let alone 32GB. IvyBridge-E can use 16GB modules on Asus X79 for 128GB total. Haswell DT CPU supports 512GB of addressing but may still be problems using anything higher than 8GB modules. Mobile Broadwell CPU's have been shown to work with 16GB modules.

Just FYI, the company that I work for, sells databases called HANA, which can have 1TB+ of RAM :)

They use the RAM for data storage, so everything can be extremely fast.

Ah I see, they use the ram as a drive, it would be insanely fast.

Consumer grade CPUs are limited to 32GB RAM total, they do not have enough physical address bits for any more than that. So obviously this RAM is not intended for a home computer.

I think the i7 5960X can handle more then 32GB ram total, but I suppose it isn't a mainstream cpu as its so expensive, so good point.

However, I would say that the 5820k is almost a consumer type CPU, and that can address 64GB, at least.
