i'm just wondering, would it make a difference what type of ram you put in the ram drive? i can't see a reason why faster rated ram would make the drive faster, but maybe i'm just not thinking about it the right way. since it's pci based, it probably wouldn't take advantage of the high speeds that the best ram can do these days right?
 
If your speaking of the gigabyte I-RAM it doesnt matter what speed of ram you put in that thing. Its not using the PCI bus for anything data related. It just uses that for power. All data transfer is handled across a SATA interface and that's max capacity is 150MB/sec. Even PC1600 (DDR100) runs 1.6 GB/sec.

Basically, those I-ram's will take the oldest DDR ram out there and still run. There is ZERO difference in performance between the speeds of DDR ram since the bottleneck is the SATA bus.

Use the cheapest stuff out there and it will perform the same.
