I'm wondering how much it costs to get that performance though, care to share the final price?

ye, i agree

antiacid and smallfish,

The 1231ML is usually around $7-800.
Sometimes you can get the controller for less if you get it with less or no cache and then buy the 2GB cache seperate.
Better solutions are coming - currently LSI looks promising

The memory I am using is - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227291

The acard 9010s - the best price currently is $360.

I think I paid more than that for mine.

So adding it up -
1231ML-2G - $700.
3xacard 9010s - $1080
Completely populated 3xacards with 2GB sticks (48GB unformatted total) - $720
Total - $2500.

The main problem of course is 48GB requires some creativity is storage management!
Going 4GB sticks is an option but a factor of 2+ more expensive than 2GB sticks.
