ACard ANS-9010 RAM Drive[/url]

Well I figure that by the time the rampage board is stable (my choice of board also) 4G ram will cost 1/2 the price.
Yep, and there's nothing wrong with buying this:
3ware 9650SE - hardware RAID controller with 8 SATA 3.0 ports. $520
2x Acard ANS-9010 boxes. $760
16x2GB DDR2 sticks. $400
= $1680 for RAID0 across 4 8GB virtual drives.. that's 32GB of space with 4x SATA 3.0 bandwidth and little RAID overhead on the CPU since you're using a true hardware RAID controller.
This is where the Acard becomes the best solution.. since no consumer system is close to being albe to run 32GB of memory for a true system ram drive at this price. Technically, this could be done without the $520 controller... the ICH10R on the Asus Rampage 2 Extreme can handle 4x drive RAID0 array, but it only leaves 2 SATA ports for other hard drives or optical drives..

Plus, the RAID controller will be able to handle two more Acard boxes for future expansion..
