| Gigabyte i-RAM GC-RAMDISK One idea, although hardly new, is to create a solid-state drive with no moving parts whatsoever. Past attempts, such as Cenatek's RocketDrive, have been very costly and as a result have not found much acceptance in the retail market. The optimal result is to achieve the right price vs. capacity ratio; a drive large enough to install files or applications to that won't cost much more than the rest of the system's individual components. What we've received from Gigabyte may just fulfill those requirements. The i-RAM, or GC-RAMDISK as it is officially known, is a single PCI card that has support for up to 4GB of memory, using nothing more than standard DDR DIMMS, regardless of their respective speeds. Recognized as an ordinary drive by the system, it's a simple, straightforward approach at increased drive performance. Let's find out if this drive is "i"-RAM tough, or just a sheep in wolves's clothing.
