I will only believe this once it's sitting in my desk

And, for now, it won't change filesystems much. Unless you can get a similar ammount of it as a disk (or maybe a compromise, let's say today around 8GB ram is common, and 1TB of HD, then if you can get around 128GB NVM this can be your new 'SSD')

It is of course, a very important development, and may make things faster



How about 240 GB almost as fast as DDR 200 (PC-1600) RAM? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227...

Edit: according to reviews it uses compression to boost its bandwidth (but not capacity). Still seems like a decent tradeoff.


Crazy! I was looking into how much it would cost to get 500GB of RAM, looked like it was going to be around $3500. I hadn't even considered this...


Wow, very tempting

Too bad it doesn't fit my MBP =)


You can easily run a desktop pc wih a full featured distro like Ubuntu desktop off a 16GB disk. You certainly don't need 128GB.
