4GB Dual Channel or 8GB Single Channel

I wonder if 4GB modules are available in DDR2 yet?

Yes, 4GB modules are out already.
We have some coming to NA resellers shortly and already in EU and asia.

That would be frickin uselessly awesome though--16GB of RAM.

[Eldonko]

The only point of that is for iRAM lol.

[Mr. Gruntsworthy]

iRAM? what's that?

Released sometime before June 25, 2005[1], the i-RAM is a solid-state drive produced by Gigabyte which has four DIMM slots to allow PC DDR RAM to be used to store data.
It connects via a SATA port and is seen by the PC as a hard drive, and may therefore be booted from directly. However, the i-RAM is bottlenecked by the SATA interface, limiting bandwidth to a maximum sustained throughput of 150MB/sec. This speed limitation is offset by near instant access, with latency results of 0.1ms recorded.
DRAM ho

DRAM however is volatile, so any loss of power will cause loss of data. The i-RAM is powered by plugging into a PCI slot, which powers it while the PC is plugged in (using standby power if the PC is off). It also has a 16 hour battery, which operates when the PC is unplugged or there is a power outage.
The i-RAM supports Unbuffered / Non-ECC DDR 200/266/333/400MHz RAM modules of different capacities (up to 1 GiB), speeds and brand for a maximum capacity of 4 GiB. Because of this, the i-RAM is very expensive per GB, but offers a silent storage method with higher responsiveness and performance than a traditional hard drive.wever is volatile, so any loss of power will cause loss of data.

Long story short, it is a hard drive made from RAM that is nice and fast.

Is IRAM still alive? I was thinking of trying the re-designed DDR2 version at one time and then it disappeared from their web site.
I figured they killed the product.

[Eldonko]

I believe it is called GC-RAMDISK now, not sure what the deal with the DDR2 version is. Could have been scrapped because of solid state drives.
