Gigabyte Brings Solid State Storage to the Mainstream

Seems a little pointless having a setup like that for extra fast booting, for those of us who never reboot.

I think I'd use it for the page file, browser cache and temp files instead.

Wouldn't quick boot times just be icing on the cake?
I would think the whole operation of the OS would be faster also.

but u can't really think that ur comp can stay on forever, can u?
imagine power outage, hardware failures and etc...

putting an OS on it is not really that feasible

It can be done, I dunno' if I'd like having to sort it out, but with a multiboot system or a bootable cd, it'd be easy to copy the os back onto the RAM-drive in case of failure, and then, hopefully, it should just be a matter of rebooting, your bootsector might need a bit of fiddling if you set it up in a multiboot config, but I bet it'd be doable.

If you did lots of changes some kind of scheduled ghosting would be advisable, I suppose.
