The performance is slitghly better but for the amount of data stored though.
It would be neat to try, especially when you hook up about eight of them in a raid 0 array (or somethign similar). If only I was rich...Titanium is the new bling!

It might be good for like a video editing swap drive or something.Comment

Say if the module held 8 sticks of 2gb ram modules then hook up 4 in raid 0, then it would make a decent solid state hdd, otherwise it's just a gadget, IMO.Titanium is the new bling!

You have a lot of PCI slots to waste there, Zokes...
(yeah, I think it would be more sensible if it wouldn't need PCI...)
Whatever...I wish I would have more than 256MB of "classical" ram in the first place...

RAID 0 them? Then your secondary storage would have more bandwidth than your main system RAM, which is useless.Originally posted by ZokesProGigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

Indeed! Not to mention the price of it all. It's a neat idea just not very practical, but it would be fun to try, just to see the results.Originally posted by Wombat
@Nowhere: I have quite a few free PCI slots, I use the onboard sound and NIC.

How would somethind on the PCI bus have more bandwidth than system RAM?Originally posted by WombatComment

It's not on PCI (have you read what you've linked to?)...and I believe this was about internal bandwith. Comment

It uses the SATA cables for bandwidth and the PCI slot for power only.Originally posted by KooldinoTitanium is the new bling!

The only reason I'd buy that card is to use up the 4x512mb sticks of PC2100-ECC ram I've got spare.
But the card doesnt support ECC ram, so it's useless to me.Athlon XP-64/3200, 1gb PC3200, 512mb Radeon X1950Pro AGP, Dell 2005fwp, Logitech G5, IBM model M.Comment

Exactly. He was talking about RAIDing RAM sticks. So, PCI bottleneck or not, 2x(RAM-bandwidth) storage as a cache of (RAM-bandwidth) storage is kinda dumb. PCI, SATA, south bridge, whatever other bottleneck in-between them is just icing on the cake.Originally posted by KooldinoGigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

you could always get 3 and do Raid-5. at least it would be fault tolerantOriginally posted by Wombat

Even PC66 ram could max out the SATA connection. Ir supports DDR200 memory. Hmm. Mirroring.Comment

Until you turn the thing off longer than 16 hours and drain the battery. Still this is an interesting concept. At least they are trying something new. I'd like something truly original in my computer. I don't think I've done that since I installed the Soundblaster mulitmedia box: Cdrom, soundblaster, speakers. Everything after that has been incremental.Originally posted by DGhostyou could always get 3 and do Raid-5. at least it would be fault tolerantWikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.
