what would be nice in the future is to see consumer-level mobos with hotpluggable RAM, maybe even externally. that'd solve this entire problem. why stop there? i think if every single thing could be hotswappable (i give that technology about another 5-7 years to show up), it'd be awesome. oh, bad processor? swap a new one in! it'd be mind-boggling as to how that'd WORK, though...

What would be interesting is if a cluster of linux boxes could share file system cache (esp for nfs mounted shares). Or if swap could be additional free mem from some other machine(s) - like memcached but integrated into the kernel? Hrm..maybe that woulnd't work, since once allocated you'd need to hang on to it and you'd only be better off if the network was faster than local disk (which would be true, but not necessarily all the time). -- Brent Saner 215.264.0112(cell) 215.362.7696(residence) http://www.thenotebookarmy.org ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
