    What a waste of money, its just a more expensive version of the i-ram. Not one change was made hardware wise.

    utter crap. Gigabyte have had this for 2 years and the best they can do is show us...AGAIN....the same "improvements"?

    DDR2 and S-ATA2 speeds cant be *that* hard to implement?

    i stayed off of i ram because it required a pci slot and my pci slots were taken by a raid controller and sound card. if they could offer the same perf through sata2, then all the merrier.

    x4 is not necessary - AFAIK it only gets power from the pci slot, the bw is the
    s-ata connection.

    This same thing was already displayed @ Cebit. Fud......

    PCI-e x1 is SLOWER than SATA2 (250 vs 300 MB/s)
    A 3x5.25" slot i-Ram with 24GB support connecting as a controller to PCI-e x4 AT LEAST would be a KILLER PRODUCT.
    With DDR2 so cheap, companies would be stupid not to make something like this right now!

    Comeone, ddr one when ddr2 prices are falling likes crazy. Make one of these with soddims, with $33 a 1gig, put 8 slots, and you are set. Or at least standard ddr2.

    total waste.

    They need to make it SATAII with 2 SATA cables. that way it makes the computer think its two HDD's and you can run it in a RAID0. With that setup you would actually be able to sustain 600MB/s istead of a paltry 150MB/s with the current I-Ram.

    I don't understand why this i-RAM revision doesn't at least support SATAII. Couldn't a simple chipset revision implement SATAII? And aren't we super limited by the SATA150 interface as it stands with i-RAM, anyway?

    Good work, Gigabyte.

    no improvement and not worth it

    Putting it on PCI doesn't have to mean power only. It could have a controller itself, or come with one specifically designed for it - seriously, these things are dirt cheap to make. Multiple SATA cables i great idea, too.

    looks like the old one before you take it out the box. They are right leaving it SATA and not pcie, they should of changed it to ddr2 and sata II though, and the two sata ports would of been a nice idea! if it ever went pci/pcie it would get more expensive and you would not be able to plug them into a raid card...
