This is pretty crazy. A piece of paper, holding 25 GB's worth of data. Can someone say excitement?

It's a neat trick. ONly thing I see this could do is the same thing the P4 "Extreme Editions" did. Which was, they offered some performance increase, but at an incredibly high price. Plus the only way to get the X2 mobo is by buying one of their souped up ALX systems. Which seem like they'll be a bit up there in price. Most likely something like 3-4 grand.

The idea is there. But I'll keep my radar on and see what happens.
