So did mine.

I wet myself

Holy fracking shizznit.

RamDrives.

Literally.

Wonder if they keep data after the computer's shut down?

I've been literally begging for ram drives to be feasible for several years. The hard drive is the slowest damned major hardware in a computer now, besides the obvious internet connection.

 

[Squiggy]

Can't you create a Ram Disc on a PC? I know they don't retain data on shutdown, but they work well if you have the physical ram to take advantage of.

 

[fury]

Yeah, but you have to transfer the files to it every time you create it. A solid state disk, while expensive, doesn't lose data on shut down. It's actually a good bit more reliable than a conventional hard disk, it's just never been economically feasible to have these in mass production because they use memory chips which are still a lot more expensive than disk platters.

:drool:

 

[Professur]

FlashRam, guys. Same as the memory sticks for your cameras. and it's nothing new. If anyone want's one, my brother in law had a few, and might still have one.

 

[Squiggy]

Did anyone find a price on this super computer? I didn't see it anywhere.

 

[PT]

Starts just under 4k, loaded is up around 16k.

 

[Kawaii]

Dig a bit and you'll see prices around ~$4000(weakest... if you can call it that) to ~$16000(extreme).

 

[tommyj27]

pretty cool, not worth the price IMHO for something that will be outdated before it arrives on your doorstep.

 

[Mirlyn]

I'd be happy with just the monitor....if it came down to that.

I went cheap. Only $14,649.99. Never mind that it's more money than I make in a year.

 

[Mirlyn]

Actually, I'd take both. Then I'd sell the tower and put the money towards a computer I'd actually use.

[nopressuresales]"Bet we could set you up with our perferred customer payment plan. Only $220 a month for the next 96 months, whaddya say?"[/nopressuresales]

 

[Inkara1]

I think I could swing that. Who needs car insurance anyway?

 

[catocom]

I'm one of those knotch-down people.
The $6500 deal looks the best to me.
