>bought 1 TB RAM instead of 1 TB SSD
How fucked am I?
>>53508503
Not fucked at all. Setup that ramdisk.
Why don't we make ssds as ram? they're equally fast now
>>53508553
Pagefile / swap
Coz they wear out

Durability and data retention are opposites in solid state memory land. RAM is insanely durable, but loses data as soon it powers down; enterprise SSDs have very high durability that lets them work 24/7 for years, but may start losing data if left inactive over a period of months (not likely in practice); and desktop SSDs don't have great durability, comparatively, but you won't lose data if you leave it powered off for a while.
>>53508503
how fucking expensive was that what the fuck
>>53508553
Not quite yet, Ram is still 100x faster than an SSD.
>>53508763
Not with M.2 NVME x4
>>53508780
For example the Samsung M.2. line is close to DDR2-400 speeds.
>>53508503
Yep fucked enjoy finding an OS to support all of that
>>53508553
No they're not even close, mainly because Sata and not pci but even when they use pci they're still slow as shit compared to ddr2 133mhz ram

Windows 10 actually supports 2 TB of RAM and Windows Server 2012 supports 4 TB of RAM. Not sure about Linux.
>>53508503
I cant even...

Linux supports (2^47) bytes =140.737488 terabytes
>>53509076
Considering that supercomputers with a few hundred TB of RAM are running Linux, I'd say it is supported as well

Just holy fucking shit senpai.
I've always wondered why don't modern OSes load in a RAMdisk after booting up and write all changes on a disk image, from which they get loaded again on the next reboot?
In this way you get ultrafast execution speeds for applications and no data are lost after reboot.
>>53508503
you must be loaded
gib monis or i report you
>>53509237
Presumably because anything barring a minimal Linux install would require several GB of RAM. Probably more than most people have available.
>>53508553
>we
I guess they forgot to ask the opinion of pedophiles jerking it to chinese kiddie cartoons.
>>53508503
where did you fucking get that?
>>53509953
the more important question is which mainboard an processors he has and if hes even able to use 1tb of ram
>>53510005
that was my second question
>1 TB RAM
>>53510838
>So guys I fell for the 1TB ram meme
let's just think about it, what could you do on a desktop that would need 1TB of ram. It doesn't have to be usefull. No Ramdisk, thats to obvios
>>53508780
>>53508803
wow, ssds are catching up to single channel ram speeds introduced in 2003, and made obsolete in 2009~? STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES
still 10~ times slower than moderately fast ddr4 in dual channel, 18~ time slower than slow ddr4 in quad channel, and takes up pci lanes (and hard limited by how many pci lanes you can throw at it)
>>53509864
Well I have 16GB of RAM, I think I could run Windows in a RAMdisk. I just need to make a bootloader that creates a RAMdisk after bootup, creates a copy of the OS in the RAMdisk and launches the OS loaded in RAM. Then I would need some system changes so that every change in the volatile data be saved on disk before rebooting.
This could work.
