What are the best options for large amounts of fast memory for Windows-based
systems?
I'm looking for price performance (access time) for:
1) Cached RAID
2) RAM disks
3) Internal RAM (using 64 bit architecture?)
4) other
Thanks for any info.

This will be useless for runtime VM or pseudo-VM purposes. RAID cache
isolates the application from write burst bottlenecks when syncing disks
(e.g. checkpointing transaction logs), but that's about it. For flatter

Thanks Andrew.
I didn't realize that RAID cache doesn't help on reads (like RAM disks do).
Just how expensive is a high-performance 50GB RAM disk system?
Off hand, anyone know progress/ETA on Intel EM64T for .net laguages (c#) ?
Also, what Windows compatible machines offer the most RAM ? (Dell

Yeah, a lot of people have never really thought about it much. I've
worked with database servers for years though, where we actually tuned
that type of hardware.
The main difference is that a write doesn't return a
Peter,
In terms of hardware as far as I know the biggest PC style hardware
you can buy supports 32 GB of RAM. For example you can by PCs this

However there isn't a 64 bit version of Windows on the market nor will
there be for some time. Thus your

Hi.
Given that your core system is C# this could be a bit of a problem.
Just to put my 2c, if you should have the idea to try .NET under linux,
better first do some tests. In my experience the linux .NET runtime (mono),
although almost fully compatible, is about 5-10 time slower than that on
