Technological progress
Whilst 2009 has started off as a bleak year with more than 90,000 recorded jobs being lost from the MNC big boys.Still technological progress hasnt taken a back seat.
Samsung's 4Gb chip promises 32GB DDR3 RAMs.
Big boy Samsung has new 4GB chips, two things here: 1) the new chips consume 40% less power than previous DD3 memory modules, and 2) the chips pave the way for 32GB (Byte, not bit) DIMM modules. The first modules will come in capacities of 16GB and 8GB. (3 x 8GB of memory should suffice for Vista or Windows7!)
Solid state drives aren't going anywhere just yet. Western Digital's 2TB (Yes TWO TERABYTES) Caviar Green harddrive is out. Hmm how about 8 x 2TB drives in RAID.
