Hopefully that link works. Computer Hardware - Memory - DDR3 - GSkill - 16GB (2x8)

1600 and 1866 are also available, but at a bit of a price premium.

The DDR3-1333 2x8GB kit ($100), is selling for the same price/gig as their 2x2GB kit ($25). That shows that the price premium for 8GB sticks is basically nil now, for the 1333 speed.

The different speeds are likely to be the same RAM, as you can see the CAS settings increase for each speed grade.

Edit: This is the lowest price that it has been:

While I agree this is a good deal, I am being difficult

2x2 GB RipjawsX 1.5v 9-9-9-24
24.99+FS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231425

2x4 GB RipjawsX 1.5v 9-9-9-24
39.99+FS+G.SKILL 4GB Micro SDHC Flash Card w/ SD Adapter Model
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231426

2x8 GB RipjawsX 1.5v 9-9-9-24
99.99+FS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231486

Thus the price per GB is
2x2=$6.25
2x4=$5.00+A free MicroSD card and SD card adapter
2x8=$6.25

So a great deal, but it is still (barely) cheaper to get the lower density chips if you go for the sweet spot which is 4GB sticks.

I was not attempting to claim that this is the lowest price/gig that you can get. I was simply pointing out that the price premium for 8GB DIMMs doesn't seem to exist anymore, because these are the same price per gig as the 2GB DIMM.

Just depends on needs/situation. My stupid laptop has only 1 (ONE!!) DDR3 SO-DIMM slot. I'm waiting for it to go $50 for a single 8gb sodimm too!

I need 16GB in a new work notebook, but damned if I pay vendor prices, or get a larger, heavier notebook to have 4 SODIMM slots. I hear you (in a different way)
