#2Is the advantage the low latency because the rest of the specifications seem to be pretty standard for an SSD. Does this require a BIOS patch of some sort?

#3I can't wait to see the programming paradigm of memory vs permanent storage begin to blur in the next 5 or so years. It's going to make some major assumptions about how you program stuff change quite significantly and it's really exciting.

#4I appreciate this might not be the right way to look at it, but from a trivia POV, in terms of raw performance, what era of regular memory would be comparable with it? (i.e. "typical desktop memory in 2004", say.)

I agree! I wonder what will happen when memory and IO are essentially the same speed. Will we still need complex cache stores?

Here's something similar that we've had in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_drive
A bios patch is probably not necessary.

Memristors (long promised and still not quite here) also bring together the ideas of long-term and short-term memory into one and, in future incarnations, even promise to bring computation and storage together.

#8I don't quite understand. Does this act like a stick of memory or an SSD? Is it just using the memory controller as a super fast parallel bus? If it does act like normal memory, what happens at reboot?

#9What's the catch here?
Re: Bringing SSD Performance to the DIMM form factor
#10Cool! And weird. I wonder what the OS support looks like.
