OCZ claims it is first to market with 2 GB PC3-16000 memory modules offered in a 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) memory kit. As part of the company’s Platinum series, the 2 GHz (1.9 volt) memory devices are rated at 9-9-9 latencies. The company hinted that it will soon be offering PC3-18000 modules in 4 GB kits as well.

Pricing has not been announced. However, 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) kits of OCZ’s Platinum PC3-16000 memory are currently selling for about $300, so expect the 4 GB kit to ring up at least $600.   

2 Gig/module is not enough!

2 Gig per stick is quickly becoming too little. With 64-bit computing starting to take hold, 4 gig of memory doesn't cut it any more. Especially since most motherboards only have 2 or 4 slots, there's a need for cheaper, but larger capacity sticks!

You need a workstation :) If not, then you're overestimating the benefits of RAM, IMHO. By the time 8 GB of RAM are too little, we'll be a bit beyond Nehalem and it's triple DDR3 channels, supporting around 6 slots for a total of 12 GB using your obsolete 2 GB sticks. ;)
