The DDR3 1333 is relatively cheap, so I'm thinking about buying a server mobo that can stock up to 64 GB of RAM (2^64 enables that many address lines, I suppose?) Then I can pre-load the entire windows into the RAM, so :
Advantages:
super-groovy and sweet just to think about
lightning fast
No need to worry about viruses (RAM would be wiped clean once off-line)
Disadvantages:
Clearly very expensive
The software may not exist
Extra hardware maybe necessary
updating windows would be complicated
may be impractical due to windows' nature (disc borne, Ram-run)
I tried SSD, yes it's fast, and it got me thinking, why bother SSD if RAM can be used for mass storage? Even if it means I have to use 32GB just to store the OS while the rest <32GB to run the OS?
Thoughts?
