The market isn't ready for DDR4 RAM
DDR4 modules from manufacturers are for testing only at this point.

well I can only imagine what this will mean for gaming , but to be honest I can barely touch the 16gigs I have currently so I'm not sure how practical this is until we have something in the line of software that will test it .

Writing software to adress and fully load everything from RAM is going to be a BIATCH, then offloading to HDD to "save" is going to be such a time consuming thing...it'll be very interesting, I wonder how the world is going to be in 20 years from now....Originally Posted by Venom
What you mean save? you talking in more broader terms than gaming?
Writing back results from complex calcs to HDD out from the RAM, probably streaming(write) to HDD...would suffice, still it'll be massive amounts of data back and forth
More ram should mean less back and forth. The only time you right back to the HD is if you saving the data, in most cases like gaming you are not saving the data so you would just dump it from the ram. The only time you would read from the HD is if the data is missing from Ram, if you have more ram you will be able to store more in ram, meaning more chance its already in ram, therefore less reading from HD.
We're doing that already with page files and RAM drives, so it's not implausible. And GPU compute combined with AMD's hUMA will make programming for a scenario you've described so much easier.
