   For some reason, all of the high-frequency (4000 MHz+) and tightly-timed (e.g. 3600 MHz CAS 16) 32GB kits are sold in the 4x8GB configuration, and there are very few mentions of  < ="text/">UpToDate 2x16GB kits in motherboard QVL lists.< ="text/">MapQuestIt makes me wonder: Is the 2x16GB configuration sub-optimal? Are DIMM manufacturers just taking the easy out and doubling up 2x8GB kits whenever possible, where they are focusing all their R&D?
