Transition of the company of Intel to usage of three-channel memory in the flagman desktop systems has involuntarily increased DDR-3 memory sets size. For example, at usage of units in size of 1 Gb the total volume of a three-channel package reaches 3 Gb, and at usage of units in size of 2 Gb it increases to 6 Gb. At last, the most greedy to RAM users can gain three-channel packages from memory modules in size on 4 Gb.
Hexus informs that Kingston has taken advantage of such units for creation of a three-channel package from six DDR-3 units. In demonstration system on the Gigabyte GA-EX58 UD5 and Intel Core i7-920 used 24 Gb DDR-3 RAM running as DDR3-1079 at timings value 7-7-7-20.

By word Kingston, such package from six memory modules cost more than $2000. Kingston is plan to announce a similar package of memory in the end of 2009. You can take a look at the video showing operation of test system from 24 Gb of memory.
