RE: A89: Me distributing roms.




The hardware would all have to be custom built I would imagine but I've seen
mb's that take ~4 gigs of ram. some larger and rarer atx boards have up to
16 slots. I guess you could put 16 512 meg dimm's on there =] That'd own!

there's also a thing called solid-state drives and RAM-mapped disks (cache,
like Magnus says, only usually you cant stuff 8 gigs of ram into a server
motherboard, it'll run out of slots or memory address space - the CPU has
its limits too). Imagine an HDD with an access time of 12ms, that's what a
solid-state drive is.
