    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    Yeah but you can give it away or sell it to someone that does appreciate it. That's really interesting!

    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    I don't understand the logic. Throwing it away is absolutely 0, selling it is potentially 0. Then there's also people on HardForum and other enthusiasts boards that are willing to buy it and have histories you can search. Ugh. I'm glad some people are archiving older gear and/or still...

    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    Shame because people are buying them on eBay, often for $100 and it's a unique piece of PC hardware and nothing like it (PCB & layout wise) will probably ever exist again, consumer wise. Interesting enough the original price in 2005/2006 was around $150. Yeah I noticed one had a bulge. It's...

    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    It's funny how much better even the Optane M.2 16GB would be for a similar purpose or anything else really. Totally understood all the negative comments. I wouldn't have bothered myself if I wasn't a hardware enthusiast and just liked things for the sake of trying them, etc rather than 100%...

    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    Yeah that person is basing it off of the Amazon price, which I've seen up for 2 years now. I have no idea where they came up with that number even on Amazon. Ridiculous. I guessing they think there is some company out there that heavily relied on them and would want a replacement (and willing...

    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    Yup, no doubt. I wish this would have taken off more, even if still niche. Gigabyte did a really amazing job with it actually. The boards are well done. Even the battery section is better than many enterprise products, like the LSI RAID controllers. I wish a DDR2 version with SATA2 and a...

    With 24GB of Memory, Does a RAMDisk Still Make Any Sense?

    Can't remember exactly but I do recall a product on Steam that can auto-cache games onto a RAM drive (place all or most of the games folder/file content). I think it would be fun to experiment and try it out. Found it:

    Gigabyte i-RAM PCI & 5.25" RAM based storage

    Wanted to share these kits I bought as a pack a long time ago for cheap (thanks to an awesome Amazon user). Years later I'm going to finally be using them in a build very soon; either on my ASRock Z77 Pro4 (with 3 PCI slots) or Z77 Extreme3 (two PCI slots). I'll post test results and the build...

    just how small can transistor size on a chip get?

    Wanted to throw in that if it ever becomes a huge problem, we could move onto optical transistors and photonic interconnects (this work is already being done), thus mitigate it.

    New Lian Li case TYR PC-X500

    Sorry to massively bump this but I can't post in the sales forum section yet. I'd love to buy the original PC-X500B (top PSU) from anyone that has it. I just discovered the case and fell in love with the look of it because it has a IBM mainframe vibe and I'm going to go to engineering...
