But if the price /GB is comparable to RAM, then I would prefer to buy a box
with 8GB RAM ( x86 supports only max 4GB, but IA64 will lift this restriction).
Of couse you will need an UPS because in the case of a power failure ... s**t
happens. :-)
Sandisk seems to have some solid-state disks available, but I think they do not
offer such big sizes yet (the firm was an other one, but I can't remember).
