http://www.fusionio.com/Products.aspxHave you guys seen this yet? It is a pci express card that you could use to have solid state virtual memory (or you could store actual files on it). What does that mean?
It is faster to write to a solid state drive than to a hard drive in most cases. This is why writing to ram is faster than writing to your hard disk, thus when you are using lots of hard disk space, your computer may slow down as it can't use as much virtual memory.
Something like this would greatly speed up things as it would be able to store the swap file on a solid state drive where it is able to read and write almost as fast as to ram. Which says a lot in terms of gaming.
The largest one they look to be offering is a 320 gb card. Which if you have 3 of those, that would be near a terabyte of solid state memory (or we could call it ram if we wanted to
). Way more than what you would need for many years considering we are still working with only an average of 2 gb in computers nowdays for ram.
