    That ram cooler is XBOX big.

    I'd love to have a rig that could run it tho

    Love to have all that goodness too, but would like to know where the current hardware bottlenecks are? Does anybody know what piece of hardware is the most restrictive on the flow of data?

    In most peoples PCs, its the hard drive.

    Hahaha! ;D My thoughts exactly but it still looks bad-ass.

    I thought we were supposed to have 64gb memory chips for $10 by now.

    I suppose if people could figure out a way to use that much regularly there'd be a reason for companies to move that direction. As it is, hardware has moved forward while software lags behind.

    There was an article I read a few years ago about a new technology that was developed where they could fit 64bg in a DDR chip and it would be really inexpensive. Maybe not $10, but even at $100 that would still be a deal. My thoughts at the time were that even if we have no use for that much memory in our systems by the time the technology hit the market, that perhaps one of the mobo manufacturers could figure out some way to isolate part of the memory as a RAMDRIVE to run your OS and have a workspace that would be beneficial for gaming PCs, DAWs, DVWs, etc.

    Oh, there have been many technologies that have jerked it hard to wacky storage density: Electronic quantum holography, nanoscale reversible mass transport, nanoscale polymer arrays, LASER MRAM, PRAM, microholography. All of them are probably sitting on a shelf in a lab, never to appear in any respectable capacity.

    For as fast as technology claims to move, storage is one area where it's a snail's pace: NAND memory -- the kind of memory we have in SSDs -- was released to the market in the late 80s.

    It's now 2009. That means more than 20 years on, we still haven't fully realized the potential of a memory type that was invented specifically for mass storage.

    HDDs will die, SSDs will reach capacity, and we'll find our not new thing by 2035.

    You are so smart sometimes.
