Hello,
I'm looking for PCI / PCIe / PCIx memory disk drive. It's card with memory,
but it's visible for PC like HDD. I just want to use it as very fast drive
for swap file. currently I have installed maximum memory at my PC, and I
can't add more

Just curious;
You are maxed on memory - amount?
and still making intensive use of swap file?
what are you doing with this pc?

You're looking for a Gigabyte i-ram
(http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/83684/gigabyte-iram.html), you can get one
from Scan:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=427438

heaven knows who stocks it outside the UK though.

This is a US retailer found thru PriceWatch.

@ $123 plus DDR cost, it's pretty pricey.

What are you doing that needs that much memory?

You originally asked for PCI.

I believe PCI cards, such as the one we identified, will plug into a PCI-X
board and work just fine. If that isn't what you want then you may want to
contact the manufacturers directly and ask them because at the moment I
don't think anyone is actually making anything else.

It's only 4GB of memory we're talking about here at the most, and the
product we're discussing won't increase the amount of RAM available to the
system, it will provide a RAM Disk to store the swap file.

It isn't that difficult to fill 4GB of RAM in serious professional
application use, absolutely trivial with server apps.

Yup. I'm asking if there is anything unusual.

Have you measured the your IO to the pagefile? Size isn't the
performace hit, it's the pages/sec rate.

Ok thanks for reply. I hope PCI card will work fine in PCI-x slot.

I need so much memory because me Windows 2003 Standard Edition 32bit Server
need more than 4 GB, and useing swap file at 15K SCSI HDD terriblle decrase
performance.... I hope I-RAM improve performance...
