Like a ton of bricks....
It just hit me... (speculating)
I was looking at different ssd's (sata/pci-e) and ram drives when it dawned on me..... If they can create some things as crazy efficient as a ram drive or pci-e ssd, how far off are we from having ssd's that are used in our vacant RAM slots? How effing crazy fast would such a drive be?
More importantly, would it even be possible? Imagine the bottleneck that has been plaguing our benchmarks gone for good.
I need and engineer and a patent lawyer --- STAT...

If I understand what your talking about here, a SSD that plugs into a empty RAM slot.
I am not sure if a RAM slot connector can be used for a storage medium like a SSD is used for. SSD's are not being polled every ms like RAM sticks are, but rather only when needed by a storage request.
The speed of chips used in SSD's is also much slower than RAM sticks so it could be a huge bottle nexk in memory speed's. Picture a SSD with 2,000mhz rated speed and being able to tweak it in the BIOS, yummy 
Right now tho that PCIe slot is faster than what a SSD can handle. But I am not sure how SATA3 will effect SSD speeds at this time. I don't know if there is a SATA3 SSD out there.
A better solution might be one freaking huge DIMM on a 64bit setup that off loads the whole OS into a RAM drive and then uses it. In fact the whole Win7 OS on a chip with be super cool and extremely fast. No more DVD's and installs, just plus a new chip in and away you go.
I remember back in the Amiga days I had a nice RAM expansion card that on boot up I transfer several compressed floppys into a Recoverable RAM drive and made all assignments so the OS was run from there. It was a huge improvement over even a HD setup.

HEHE.... sadly, I think I know what you are talking about... Zip-Chips, anyone?
The zip chip idea isn't a bad one at all.... Programmable, and fast os offloading. Giant dimms instead of hdds or ssds...
Meh, just realized that it doesn't matter anyway. Intel is on an integration warpath... in a couple years they will have RAM and storage on the chip along with the gpu, so we will be buying blank motherboards with only a socket, traces, and i/o ports. Then we will need to find something else to do... I vote OCA drag-racing team FTW!

At that point, we will become a gayming clan
