From the article:

"32GB cards are on the horizon too."

Um, what the hell? That's a damn hard drive right there! Are you sure that article is accurate?

Cheers.

And even if one would come out in the near future, how much would one of those cost?? I think that article said that a 1GB would cost around $900...so a 32GB would be roughly $29,000,lol...hmm what I could do with $29,000

Hehehe. I think it's worse. Solid-state memory tends to price up exponentially, because the space is limited, so you can't just simply keep on stacking more and more.

terabyte

hehe, i think of all that, the terrabyte raid disks are most feasible... with the 200gb HDs out now, you just need 5 right?

The most I had was 0.47 of a terabyte in my old PC. Not bad, huh? That's a half a terabyte right there. It wasn't RAID-ed though. Oh, and with the Maxtor 250 GB drives out there, you can use simply 4 for the full T.

Cheers.

Be aware of large IDE disks !!!!

Be aware that the current ATAPI/IDE standards and specification do not allow the bios to 'see' past 120 GB....This have been solved with tweaked bioses that 'kind of put a transparent layer' and sees 2 virtual partitions of 100 GB each, and make it transparent on the user side. So it looks like 200 GB. But the truth is that the disk I/O aren't as expected, and speed suffers. I think 120 GB is the ultimate limit in large disks, at least until the ATAPI/EIDE/IDE standards are revised...

You forgot the monitor!

Sign me up for an 10 foot monitor when it comes out! That's measuring diagonally of course.
