    4GB modules are the main thing - 8GB in two slots? Now that, a lot of people would want.

    My thoughts exactly... Thou I would be tempted to go for 12Gb triple channel with my 920. Thou I ain't paying 7-900 smackers for the pleasure, but no doubt the price will fall rapidly.

    Any chance of making an always on DDR3 hard drive? With UPS protection obviously. Say 32Gb?

    With the rise in popularity and fall in price of SSD, I would be surprised if anyone took the time to make a DDR3 version of those devices......although I guess you never know!

    It would be nice though. You could fit a crapload of high density DDR3 chips on a PCIe 16x card, too.

    Not DDR3, but I think this is the closest you'll get atm.
    Insert witty comment here.

    That was the kind of drive I was referring to, but what worries me is the controller not being able to use the full bandwidth on offer. Imagine using your system RAM as a hard drive. The days of the instant on OS would be back!

    There's quite a few programs around that can use a portion of your RAM as a virtual hard drive, but they're only drivers for use in Windows - you can't boot from them.

    Now I don't know much about virtual machines, and that side of computing in general, but is it possible to run a really, really low-level VM host (is hypervisor the right word?) UNDERNEATH your client OS of choice (Windows, linux etc.) in a manner transparent to the client OS (so it still allows hardware access) but will present a portion of RAM as a bootable device? Obviously this would require that the machine be on at all times, with only the client OS shutting down totally, but it's more curiosity than anything. There's no way such a system could ever be even a little bit practical.

    Anyways. Software RAMdisks are easy enough to set up, but anything permanent does require a dedicated device.

    Things seem to be heading in that direction, which is great IMHO, the real trick is figuring out how to expose low level hardware details to the guest OSes in a shared manner.

    But running VMs from a software 'RAM disk' with Linux as host is dead easy as long as you don't want persistent storage on the guest image. And should SRAM take over DRAM, that reality will be even more readily be realised.
