Still with my way of thinking I would use DDR2 to save money or DDR3 RAM for people with big bucks & use the PCIe interphase who care's if the driver takes longer to boot up. Then make the card tall so the RAM can be turned 90 degrees & get 8 to 16 sockets on one side. Besides leave room to expand to at least 2MB & 4 MB's sticks of RAM, now this is smoking. This would be a product some servers would be quick to upgrade to besides us crazy people. I have have large RAM drives & yes even that slow stuff back then in the past, well the HD's were much slower to, then what we have now but the difference was hundreds if not thousands of times faster. Drives were so small & programs were zipped up for storage & unzipping them to a RAM drive was the best. Even put the OS there so no reason to leave the HD on LoL. Besides the games started up & ran so much faster that way it was the best. Thou now days no one knows how to make a compact program or OS many could use the xtra RAM.
BTW my saying should be I want it all, yesterday.
