Adding Pizazz to Your RAM

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-i-wanted-chutzpah dept.

EliteTEK noted that Extreme Tech is running a review of some fancy new illuminated DDR RAM. This one actually has a 10 char alphanumeric display that normally displays stats on your system, but with their software can display anything you like. It's about time that people can read RSS feeds on their RAM.

  1. Memory Slots by bradphan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why would I want to buy memory that eats up 2 slots of space for a single chip. Seem they would have to tier the LED modules in order to utilize all of the memory slots.

    Actually, my friend modded his case to mount his LCD on the side, I can get pics of it, it's really funny looking

    No, REAL nerds have workstations that came from the FACTORY with blinky lights for everything!

    (old HP workstations has memory bank, cpu heartbeat, network, etc indicators on the front bezel. Also, the BeBox had LED cpu graphs up the side. Let's not forget the Cray units with the big red LED boards showing memory status...)

    Oh, and an aside- I imagine a Beowulf cluster of these would be necessary to read a webpage.
