With Windows x64 being the OS of choice among Windows aficionados, I would have expected the market to literally boom with offers for higher density modules. Instead of that we have a conservative approach from the different memory reseller: they mostly stick with bundle of 2 or 3 stick of RAM that rarely excess the 2 Go module density....
I personally would be more than happy to get 8 Go of DDR3 in my machine. The high performance of the RAM usually is not that much of an improvement as opposed to increasing the global amount of RAM, I have found. Specially if you like to run many application at once. But so far the offer is limiting me to get four 2 Go modules for a reasonable price, preventing any further upgrade path to allow me to max out my current rig (Mobo support up to 16 Go).
So my questions are:
1) Why are offers like the following still very much the common place?
2) Why are we not seeing more offers for the 4 Go modules?
This does not make any sense at all.

- Corsair is selling 4*2Go for 229 (see Corsair XMS3 8GB (4X2GB) DDR3 10666C9 (1333MHz) Dual- Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M4A1333C9)),
- Corsair is selling 2*2Go for 89 (see Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9))
