Subject: TECH: GigaByte Memory?
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 92 22:09:34 PDT



I am aware of several new developments in solid state memories and would be
interested in a high end graphics work station manufacturer's opinion and
input:
 
More specifically:                                                          

If a large amount of memory was available in a small volume (less than
100 cubic inches) and this memory was accessible at between 20 and 80 MB per
second (depending on bus width) would this memory subsystem provide your
systems with added value?  i.e. real time ability to display graphics,
graphics editing, etc.

Based on your experience to date, at 80,000 dollars for 1 GByte of memory,
is the memory system described above likely to be cost effective in your
graphics workstations?
 
In graphics applications, are display densities beyond 1280 x 1024
envisioned for your system?
