    Bottom line, it's nice for your swap file and little else.

      I think it would be very nice if you were running a DB.

        That's what I was thinking. And i posted such on the feedback. I can't believe Anand didn't test such an obvious use for the thing.
        Go Bunny GO!

          Seems like Tom actually tried this out and posted his results. Check it out.

Everything after that has been incremental.
            Well when you look at it that way, this isn't really new. You used to be able to get Above Board (tm) RAM boards that had battery backups.

            I would still get screwed
