The leading memory chip maker, Micron, started recently to produce 2 Gb ones, opening the way for up to 4 GB memory modules. That translates into a maximum of 16 GB for your desktop PC (provided that your motherboard and your OS support them). The drawback about this news story, is the DDR3-only aspect of it, which leaves most of the current owner base out of the water.

Mass production is expected to begin without further ado, with speeds that will stop at 1333 MHz for the time being. A side effect of the increased density of these chips is that, besides increasing capacity, they will eat less power (as long as you need fewer 78nm chips, for the same storage size, than you needed when using the old ones).
