And, of course, the real advantage to a solid-state drive is random access
speed, which vastly improves both random writes and random reads.
well, some motherboards out there, for example the tyan vx50
(http://www.tyan.com/products/html/vx50b4881.html) can stock up to
128gb ram. For a database server, this will probably outperform the
'ramsan' on many workloads. the ramsan is easier to stack though.
