Is this too good to be true? Is it even possible?!! :bugeye:

[dduardo]

It's a hoax. The dead giveaway is that Windows XP doesn't even support 1TB of RAM. The 64bit version can only address 16GB of RAM.

"East-West Euro Intellect" gold metal doesn't even seem to exist.

[ranger]

Do we even have need for 1TB of memory?

[Pengwuino]

Depends on who "we" is suppose to be.

[deckart]

1TB of RAM? Be nice to turn most of that into a virtual HD, then we'd be talkin...

[Pengwuino]

They have systems out that replace hard drives with hardwired RAM-like drives. Like, $15,000... but its pretty nice :D

[cefarix]

even if its a fake, is it a possible to make something like it?
i have this idea for example of making a device that could solve mathematical problems thru interference or other effects using laser light. it would be connected to a regular digital computer which would control it and possibly dampen out the effects of statistical errors if they could happen.
so, is that possible? just an interesting thought...

[Pengwuino]

Yah theres a huge deal of research going on in quantum computing :D

It can also get Windows XP Server 2002 to display more than 64GB of RAM, apparently.

Lets install Doom 3 and see how well it does. ;)

There is no Windows XP Server 2002.

[Pengwuino]

haha yah! I was thinking "wait....... isnt it 2003?"

And what the hell is a "World Genius"

I saw this thing on the net from a post on slashdot and I was thinking to myself, something like this is coming soon and it hasn't gotten alot of media attention. I really wish that it existed though.
