Check out Ramdisk from SuperSpeed yet?

Solid state HD's are limited to the Sata connection, partitioning your ram to run games on isn't, love to see some benchmarks (not to mention MetaRam)
We had 32gb MB's ages ago (fatality) just not the DIMMs

Good to see native 16gb, some nice improvements but nothing ground breaking. Probably saving the best for the next socket in 6+ months.

Nice review ;)

According to the MSI's website the P45 Diamond supports DDR3 and not DDR2.
