While they should be called AL's-pedia, or alternatively "splave sticks" the company that produced the hypers is Elpida

as far as value, no idea. they were worth a bunch only a year ago. Now.. the market crashed, and Intel loves it some high speed do hickeys. Even at the expense of trcd. Probably still a good market for AMD OCers though.

In fact I wonder if the speeds and timings are even accurate. Hell my X58 setup would boot up with 3 sticks of hypers at 2000 6-8-6. And one of the sticks was actually dead. (Took a couple of reboots, I disable logo but still do not always pay attention so didnt see the 2048MB RAM splash... ) I'm just saying. Intel IMC is SUPER forgiving. Too forgiving? Who cares with 3000 MHZ ram running through it!
