Micron (Crucial) is launching 24 GB and 48 GB DDR5-5600 RAM for both desktops and laptops:

Desktop
Laptop

Micron Unveils 24GB and 48GB DDR5 Memory Modules
Crucial Now Has 24 GB & 48 GB DDR5 Memory Options For Desktop & Laptop PCs

Presumably, some 4-slot systems will be able to support 192 GB of RAM, but ARK currently lists 128 GB maximum for recent Intel desktop parts. They have put inaccurate memory information on ARK before, so YMMV.

Memory speeds could suffer if you use 4 modules:

2x1R DDR5-5200
2x2R DDR5-5200
4x1R DDR5-3600
4x2R DDR5-3600

With just 2 modules, you can have 96 GB and likely higher speeds/better overclocking potential. Not bad.

    Soon we'll have enough memory to run a Java Hello World [github.com] program.

      What sort of sorry excuse for a Java program is that? There isn't a single factory factory in that whole thing!

        It also doesn't use any XML for configuration. It doesn't have any XmlParserFactoryFactory type classes. That is, you set up and instantiate an XmlParserFactoryFactory and configure it such that it can produce any number of XmlParserFactory's to your particular needs. Then once you have an XmlParserFactory you can configure that to produce an XmlParser to your taste.

          How could I have forgotten about XML!? Although advocating for that here will, sadly, be as successful as your attempts at advocating for Java. Personally I don't understand it. The fact that you have to convince programmers that using the structure inherent in your data can be a good idea. In the mean time they are perfectly content with forcing the predefined structures provided by the language onto that data. Ironically, it seems that many of those that resist that idea in their data language are the most vocal advocates of it in their programming languages. Is it the solution for everything? No. But everything has their place, even XML (and GC too!).

          That said, your XMLParserFactoryFactory hits close to home. I've actually seen that pattern (although it was an INI parser) in production code. The parser factory factory was configured based on your dialect and created parser factories. The parser factory took some form of specification and produced parsers for that specification. The parser itself took the data and gave the results. I wish I could say that was the only time I've seen factory factories in production code, but that would be a lie. For some reason, only one example I can think of wasn't written in Java. I still haven't nailed down why that is though.

    I don't need a 64Mb module, what I need if free speech. Restore aristarchus, or face the consequences. It is nice to have some hardware tech news, but if it is at the cost of right-wing nut-job censorship? No thank you. So, SoylentNews, allows anonymous AC posting again. If you do not, well, you have already seen what will happen. As much as I appreciate McGrew, and Swiss Bradley, they are not the best posters, and the fact that khallow has just run amok and spread his, um, "seed" everywhere is just gross. So perhaps it is too late to go back to the original promise of SoylentNews? I, for one, would welcome the attempt. But looks like the "stick-up-the-butt" British faction has taken control. Been nice, everyone!

      "Restore aristarchus" != "free speech".

      You have free speech now - you have just posted a comment in which you were free to express your views. You are simply not welcome on this site. No.

      or face the consequences

      ... which is precisely what you are doing for your earlier actions.

          That does sound awfully like aristarchus' farewell #43.

                What I am getting from all this, is that we will have 36Gb or 42Gb memory modules before aristarchus is restored. We might look to these as the signs of the coming Great Arkleseizure, or the Resurrection of BuckFeta. How much RAM does it take to permanently ban someone, anyway?

      If aristarchus isn't unbanned, you're going to make SN "face the consequences?" That sounds a lot like threats you made previously, as I deescribed here [soylentnews.org], where you threatened to create lots of sock puppet accounts with your Cyberian Tiger bot. What are young going to do, post some more spam and create more sock puppet accounts, as a temper tantrum when you don't get your way?

      Of course, you're nothing but a paper (Cyberian) tiger, too inept to even competently disguise the source of your feeble attacks, let alone actually inflict any real damage on SN.

      The original promise of SN was a site where the community was respectful, didn't spam the site with shitposts, and certainly didn't dox other users. It's too bad you're not interested in those ideals.

      Grow up.

        Comprehend text, much? Not what it says. There will be, and are already, consequences. The roll from the action itself, like karma. No one is making anything.

        Discussion is much reduced. Moderation is wilding. Front page has gone to hell out of disinterest. SoylentNews has suffered a massive loss of reputation amoung the internetattia, from which it is not soon to recover. Censorship, and the protection of the alt-right, are now what this site is known for. And none of this is my doing, nor that of the parent poster, and certainly not aristarchus'.

        Yeah that's the part I don't get. It shouldn't be too difficult to use a different source IP etc.

        If he's going to insist on remaining that stupid and spammy I'm glad he's banned. He can have his free speech elsewhere or freely talk to himself like other mentally ill people do.
