G.Skill didn't just go and release an ordinary 48GB kit of RAM, if such a thing can ever be ordinary, but according to G.Skill, this is also the world's only hand-picked, hand-tested, ultra-high capacity DDR3 memory kit for workstations.
The kit consists of 12x4GB memory modules clocked at 1,900MHz, each one outfitted with the company's Ripjaws series heatsink. Obviously home users need not apply, and further limiting their utility, G.Skill says its new kit is intended exclusively for EVGA's Super Record 2 (SR-2) motherboard.
So what's the point? Bragging rights, for one. But as a workstation kit, 48GB can come in handy for 3D rendering, data modeling, scientific applications, and other specialized tasks.
No word yet on price or availability, but let's be real, we're just here to gawk, right?

I just got the magazine on Friday - it's a shame this kit wasn't out in time - this is the same MB that you picked, right?

I dont have the RipJaws series on mine, but I have always been happy with their products. Getting 48GB of ram would be amazing. Its like "hey Pixar, I can make movies with my desktop." LOL

They're referring to hand-picking modules that are the cream of the crop. Or maybe they really do grow on trees. Might be a good idea to snag one of these kits and try planting it in the soil.

Paul is actually a terminator and he's trying to bring about the existence of Skynet. Don't plant those chips in the ground!
