The onboard RAM.....Is that around already or only in the form of I-RAM? I didn't know that SSD was Flash based. So there's no platters?

What I do know is that you can get a PCI board that you install RAM into and use it as flash memory.
ive been folowing those ssd's as well, but id rather get a raptor for more than half off an 16 gig ssd

Just a little side note for those truly interested in ssd technology.
Watch thin clients. They've been using flash drives for years, and the more advanced their little OS gets the more space it requires.
Such as an XP or Vista embed.

I flipping love the idea of a manufacturer putting flash on their mobo's. It could be totally integrated and have amazing fast OS operation. that would be so so so cool. They could get rid of SATA altogether for the OS, and reserve it for storage drives. Awesome.
And it's going to just get cheaper and cheaper as better technologies come along. Fully solid state will happen soon. Then, with heatspreaders and only using usb drives for CD-like applications, you could have a completely silent system. How awesome is that going to be?
You love my sig.
Umm, is that true? Now im no expert but, how on earth could a 33MB/s bus even with the SSD drive compare in speed terms to the 3GB/s SATA2 with the fastest plater based drive? You might obviously get a quicker reply from the device but wouldn't it be bottle necked by the bus so much as to cancel any performance gain?
