Something to think about.........
Now ram has been cheap for a while now, so why is it that the maximum cache for a hard disk is at 16mb ( that i have seen )....
Now how about this then...
Why hasn't motherboard manufacture's put a slot on the motherboard for someone to put ram in ( a 1gb laptop ram stick slot is not to big ) as a hard disk cache... Hard disks are the biggest bottlenecks in computing and putting in a 1,2 or even higher stick of ram on the controller to boost performance - forget turboboost, this would really improve speed..
A 256mb stick of ram increased performance on an adaptec scsi controller so why not on a sata controller.....
PCI express 2 is comming out, ddr3 and so are 8 core processors - yes they will be here soon, and the hard disk has not got Sata 3 announced.....
There was talk of putting Windows files on a chip a while a go but nothing came of it....
