4 GB sticks of DDR2?

[ByteMe]

Hi. :)

I'm trying to find some 4 GB sticks of DDR 2, but it's like they don't make it or something. In Google searches and on manufacturer's product pages all I find is 4 GB kits, i.e., 2x2GB, and people asking similar questions while getting no answers.
I just got a new motherboard, an Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, and it supports up to 16 GB of RAM... but I'm not really seeing what good that does if nobody actually makes 4 GB sticks of DDR2. ;)
Surely somebody must. Anybody here know anything about it?
Currently I have it loaded up with 8 GB of DDR2 @ 1066 mhz (OCZ Reaper), but it would be cool if I could fill it with 16 GB. I know that seems like overkill, but my 3D modeling apps are RAM hungry beasts and could definitely make use of it.

No, I didn't buy the board just because it says it can use 16 GB of RAM, in case anybody wonders why I'd wait until after the fact to discover I can't find any DDR2 4 GB DIMMs. I bought the board because my regular P5Q Pro died, and this Turbo model seemed like it might be good. Which it is, btw.

Thanks if anyone can steer me in the right direction! :)

If your running any other OS than Windows XP x64, Vista Ultimate, or Vista Business, or a server OS you won't get use of 16gb anyways.

Both are for servers which generally will not work on a desktop board.

If you live near Kitchener-Waterloo, ON, the local Canada Computers seems to have one of this kit in stock. Not very common, that's for sure.

Thanks, guys. :)

enaberif, yeah I know all about the limitations of a 32 bit OS, and I am running Vista Ultimate x64... on all five of my computers, 4 of which are a render farm.

I'm not talking 32bit.

I'm talking Vista Home Premium only supports up to 12gb.
