Gigabyte I-RAM: more info

jmke · 9th June 2005, 09:06

I talked to the engineer who is involved with this product and he gave me the following information:
• The I-RAM will work with almost any motherboard
• If the PC is off but on an active power circuit, the I-RAM is powered
• There is no technical reason for a 4 GB limit
• Pricing is in the $60-70 range
• Product will be available early August
• It might be possible to use the PCI-E slot, but no plans yet

Aha! Now that's more like it!

One major problem is almost solved. with the help of a UPS it is removed entirely too.

Could you ask how soon before a 4+GB version?

Are there sticks of RAM bigger than 1GB?

Can you have sticks of different size?

uhm; that post is a quote from the article linked

to answer your memory question, yes there are 2gb sticks, yes they are expensive

(€500-€700 for DDR)

I'll just buy 2 iRAMs then

JMKE have done a calculation what it will cost with the RAM (and what kind is more likely to be)

if you get one iram with 4 gb for OS and quick apps... 4 gb will be enough for me...

how much is a clean windows install?

jmke · 9th June 2005, 12:48

<2gb

card + 4gb cost would be ~€500 at the least

****! That's very expensive.

What kind of RAM, is it the cheapest around?

jmke · 9th June 2005, 13:33

you have to calculate €70-100 for each DDR stick

cheapest one will run at CL3-4-4-8 @ PC3200

which is more then enough for the I-Ram

I think Gigabyte needs to find/describe an easy way to make it the OS disk.

that would be fun to boot up
