What happens when you take 24 256GB Samsung MLC solid-state-drives, set them up in RAID, adorn the motherbaord with a stupid amount of very fast RAM, two Quad Core processors and some ridiculously large fans, then stick Vista on it and switch it on?

I can't wait for SSD to become the norm!

On XP: fast.
On Linux: faster.
I'm interested in one of those discs now.

You can get 120Gb SSDs for less than £150 now. Yes, that's a very small capacity nowadays but it would be fine as a system drive for many people.
I'm not sure you'd see much real-life benefit without two of them strapped together in RAID 0 and a meaty processor or two to go with them, though!

Wow now thats impressive.
You have to remember the 2x quad cores though, you couldn't just wack those 24 drives into any machine and get the same performance.
Could you imagine in like 100 years having that sort of power in your standard laptop?
I'd better stop thinking about it before I get a hard on.
