usually i would expect reports all over about memory being found bad.....chances are, unless you were hiding in a cave for a while....you would have heard if your mem was bad.....

just be happy youre one of the privaleged few to own this future collectors item...=P

Probably the simplest explanation is the easiest: They simply couldn't find enough super-good chips to make the RAM in any kind of realistic quantity.

Same thing happened with ATI and the X800 Platinum PCIe........they couldn't find enough cores to meet the specs, so they stopped producing them, except for the occasional OEM.

You're probably fine, it's just another niche product that turned out to be too hard to make and sell.

No most likely not....although some super enthusiast somewhere may.....

in the world of computers...things go obsolete real fast, so chances are, it will be nothing special by the end of the year......lol

Still great RAM mind you....im still jealous....=]
