EVGA SR2-It is here and OH MY GOD is it a thing of beauty!

You have to forgive nn_step, brilliant software guy but when it comes to hardware he's all AMD and they never used FBDimms..

In correct. I only buy the best parts for my research [Right now Intel completely ignored several significant advancement in virtualization that AMD supports] Also You can't buy an Intel setup with hardware support for multiple address spaces and virtualized I/O Memory. [Something REQUIRED for super reliable computing]

Ah... lol

Speaking of ram... any idea when they're gonna sell affordable non-ECC 4GB DDR3 sticks?

Working with 12GB of ram is worst than being claustrophobic in a room the size of a coffin...

Question, why would anyone even think about buying more than 4GB that Isn't ECC? Now unregistered ECC is one thing but losing the very protection and sanity check that any serious system requires just seems illogical to me.

I actually don't care about Pi much... It's more about the algorithms that are involved.
I do a couple other things that require a ton of ram... (Though they're only on the order of 8 - 32GB of ram.)

Actually the algorithms are only part of the equation. Given enough Hard drive bandwidth and a smart enough compiler with hints; not much system ram is required.
