Crucial launches 4GB DDR3-1333 DIMMs

Crucial announced today the official release of a new lineup of 4GB DDR3-1333 DIMMs designed to offer users up to 16GB, or even 24GB, of memory with the proper motherboard and platform.

“Computer technology is constantly evolving, so we’re committed to developing and offering a wide variety of Crucial memory products for both PC and Mac® system users. Our new Crucial 4GB DDR3, high-density modules speak to this commitment; these products enable users to take advantage of newer 64-bit operating systems, as well as the latest generation of Intel and AMD processors,” said Jim Jardine, Lexar Media’s senior worldwide product manager.

The new modules operate at 1.5V and CL9, and have been tested on Intel LGA1156 and LGA1366 systems, as well as AMD’s new socket AM3. However, interested parties may find it hard to stomach the price: $299 per module, according to Crucial’s own store.

Fremont, California, and Glasgow, UK, Wednesday, December 02, 2009 – Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the availability of Crucial 4GB DDR3-1333MHz (PC3-10600) non-ECC UDIMM memory modules, enabling power users to max out their systems with 16GB of RAM.

    Cliff_Forster Considering I spent $299 for a 128mb stick of PC100 in 1998, I guess it ain't so bad.

    Tim I still have about a dozen sticks of SDRAM and DDR 1 ram sticks, left over from my early years of computer repair work, when I saw many Windows ME systems with 64 MB in them and was able to load them up on memory for much better performance. I wonder if they are worth anything on eBay. I got a pair of 16 chip 512 MB PC133 sticks that were amazing at the time, and ended up never even using them.

Howdy, Stranger!
