I notice there are very few single 4GB DDR2800 chips available vs. 4GB in 2x2GB format. Why is this? I want to go up from 8GB on my LGA775 system to increase memory available on my virtual machines: I like to have a Win32 and Centos box running while consuming only half my available RAM.
Is the lack of single 4GB modules on the market a reflection on lack of demand, or is there a technical reason why one would not want to install 12GB or more on their PC?
I meant DDR2 800. Your answer makes alot of sense although even with the DDR3 seems fewer 4GB or 8GB (2x4GB kits). May be due to introduction of triple channel. Fortunately I found a 4GB Hynix module for sale in my area. – Stephen – 2010-08-22T23:25:33.617
