Gigabyte I-Ram

[Sm0ku720]

how you will get to bios (mr.fast fingers)

[evgeniuscom]

@Sm0ku720 this video is 4 years old

i already have ssd for a long time and forgot about i-ram

and yes, i have to press DEL fast

[Sm0ku720]

your camera is slower than your pc

[pacorocks1]

wow... i want this badly :(

[Hardryv]

you should have spent some of that cash you blew on the SSD on a decent camera first...

[evgeniuscom]

good idea, thanks! ;)

p.s. check out the rest of my vids

[oddomar]

@evgeniuscom lols i think you mean screen capture software instead.

[evgeniuscom]

@oddomar what you mean?

[Damnyounoob]

@oddomar how is he gonna capture shutdown/bootup with screencapture software ?

[Damnyounoob]

@Hardryv  ram disk is not ssd.

[mikeccuk2006]

certainly need to back up your partition lol

[terekevadexD]

Nice pc :D

[meetajhu]

OMFG WHAT A SPEED!!

[ahanix1988]

Creepy... I changed my "Shutdown" dialog to that exact same background image.

RobotBadger:

Imagine a very large RAM Drive.

Now imagine an entire OS installed on said RAM Drive, and the system booting off of it.

Or, Imagine your entire HD is replaced with a group of RAM chips.

Is it really so amazing that RAM access is FAR faster than HD access?

[1nsan1ty69]

Thats why you get DDR SSD's. Just the capacity is a problem the biggest is around 64GB's.

[cyborgtroy]

And it's even slightly more expensive than Flash. and the SATA interface actually limits the RAM, so you're kinda wasting money on speed you're not going to get.

[Codfodder]

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

i liked this video :) Ds

the iram beats the living shit out of

SSD drives, its no wonder the ram drive market was hindered, its more than likely companies like gigabyte were forced to cripple their Iram2 project by SSD companies so that they can rip off a hole bunch of people before allowing consumers to purchase a fast SSD drive. What a bunch of bastards

The Iram kicks major ASS.

[taltamir]

1. capacity. a SSD chip has much more of it.

2. an SSD doesn't need a battery, and doesn't lose ALL the data if it runs out during a power outage.

[TruthBeyond]

1) Only store your operating system and program files on i-ram. Have a SSD or HDD for everything else. It will still run fast as fuck.

2) Make a regular backup of your i-ram so if you do lose it all, you won't have to waste time reinstalling everything.

[LooieFTW]

I-Ram had a 16 hour battery for when the computer is turned off, or a power outage occurs actually.

[Black7Cloud]

3. SSD is a ton slower than RAM

[greenfishticks]

3000$ for 32gb i ram. go figure

[Suckbutton]

Whoops--the TV/Video question was meant for the video that you have linked below! Sorry

[evgeniuscom]

captured on canon hv20

and i've set around 800x600 on my 20" 1680x1080 monitor ;)

[Suckbutton]

This video allowed me to see the future of personal computers, where everything happens instantly. Can you tell me what hardware and software you are using for TV/Video? I'm really impressed with the resolution and quality.

[RobotBadger]

Yeah, unless the camera phone lag compensates for your video (half a second?) Puppy Linux doesn't even load that fast. And puppy is like 70MB.

[evgeniuscom]

i've posted a video reply recently with my latest video, but it was removed because of a flashing tits at the beginning i guess :o)

you can download it from here: bmw540m [dot] com [slash] garbage [slash] I-Ram.avi

[RobotBadger]

I still think this video is fake. I have 4GB RAM in my new laptop. My live-RAM setup still doesn't load that fast, even with puppy. The POST lasts longer than your nvidia board. I've never seen a POST go that fast. Not as fast as yours. Not in all my years. But hey, like you said you were going to do original poster, make another video to prove me wrong. Seriously. I don't mean to be a jerk, but my tech knowledge 10+ years doesn't believe you. I know RAM is super fast, but this is TOO fast.

[evgeniuscom]

i don't have that motherboard anymore, so i can't capture the same. but POST on that system were really fast unlike all modern motherboards (i don't know why). plus, fresh installation of WinXP without any drivers installed loads really fast, on i-ram you see how fast on this video

[ignarukih]

The performance is just. Wow. Stunning...

It kills me, but the drawback here is that the onboard battery only keeps the RAM powered for 11ish hours (according to the manufacturer) if the computer isn't powered into the wall. I wonder how long we'll have to wait for MRAM (Wikipedia it!)

[Seaoftea]

Why not just use the sleep feature? 3 second boot time.

[neowindotnet]

I wonder how these things would do if you could use DDR2 memory.

[noobzssss007]

This is the real thing, why fast? Because the OS itself is installed in the I-RAM, does no loading is needed during startup because the whole OS were loaded all the time!! I know RAM will not be able to store memory once the power is switched off, but notice, this is I-RAM and not RAM!! By the way, how much does one cost? Never seen it at where i come from....

[woodburyadpost]

This is a sped up video. notice his POST. The post has nothing to go with the HD. No matter what HD you have in your PC the post will not increase in performance. If his post loaded that fast he must have a hacked BIOS and a 9000000GHZ Cpu. notice also how jumpy the video is. Stupid loser trying to make an impressive video just to get views. LOSER!!!

[evgeniuscom]

what's your problem?

everything is real, captured on a phone.

that was an award bios on some old chipset (i don't remember).

POST on my current motherboard lasts much longer.

I will make a new video later just for you, ok?

[VideoResearchGuy]

The video is not sped up! It is real. Why is it so fast? He has Windows stored on the I-ram which is a bank of memory modules. A harddrive is slow because it has moving parts. A harddrive has a latency of 5ms. RAM has no moving parts and has a latency of 0.4ms.

Next time research before you make an ass out of yourself.

[mygaffer]

I know this is so impractical to run on a day to day basis but I'd love to have one just to fuck around with. I'd love to see the crazy performance.

[generalpetres]

um the iram come with a back up lithium battery that lasts for 16 hours which is fine for black outs but if you have a usp you can always set up the drive to frequently back up to another hd. im planing on running 3 of these in raid 0.

[AmanOU2be]

Battery is RATED for 16 hours. Real world is more like half that.

[batfastad]

Yeah that's very true. I think this was initially released back in 2005, but since SSDs are coming in, you have the fast-access problem solved. Certainly for our intranet apache/mysql server... 4GB of Solid State Drive would be perfect!

[neowindotnet]

If you are referring to flash SSDs, they are nowhere near as fast as RAM SSDs. Flash SSD have terrible write speeds, and it has a limited amount of rewrites. While RAM SSDs are fast in terms of write, and read speed. There is an article on xbit labs that reviewed a bunch of flash SSDs, and they included the i-RAM in the article. The i-RAM pretty much obliterated everything they reviewed, even the 15000 RPM industrial HD they included in the review.

[loydwho]

Wow thats almost as fast as my Mac Pro boots :)

[Renatodonadio]

Dinamic HDs will never compete with SSDs. Today MacBook Air comes with an optional 64 GB SSD, and I think in a while you'll have the choice to actually mount a SSD OS drive on the MacPro

[tripzero0]

SSD are slow

[Renatodonadio]

They're surely faster than a non defragmented big capacity hard drive almost full because they have no moving parts and they don't spend time wandering around to search for files

[jameshanley39]

Dynamic hard drive is some win2k thing isn't it? I don't hear people raving about them.

This RAM hard disk is a RAM SSD, as oppose to the most common, Flash SSD. I think.

[jalland]

FAKE!!!!

hehe, just kidding. I RAM looks awesome, and Photoshop loads, like WOOOOW!!!

[stunter79100]

il ram qu'un petit peu ^^

[NuFilms]

So...it's not gigabyte ram, just 4 x 1gig ram.

[naj95]

the device is made by gigabyte that's why it's called gigabyte i-ram

[NuFilms]

Ooops, yeah I posted that comment before I researched I-RAM and found out that the device holds regular RAM. Previously I thought it had to be special RAM made by Gigabyte.

[batfastad]

Got to get me one of these. Stick that in our DB server!

[Renatodonadio]

It's not reliable in case of prolonged power failure

[batfastad]

Yeah clearly that could be a problem. The back-up battery on the thing is 8 hours. Unfortunately our intranet mysql server doesn't get hit by enough traffic to justify it really. Great idea though, I really want to see this develop further as a product... clearly way better than just setting up your own ram drive manually!

[Renatodonadio]

Solid State Drives are already available, the problem is the "price per capacity" (they hold few data and they cost a lot), iRam comes as a cheap alternative

[vintle]

One other problem with SSD's that nobodys paying attention to until its too late. They have a limited Read/write amount. Meaning you can only write to them so many times. and read from them so many times. With Ram you can do it much more. And if you run an alternative OS you'll have more than enough room with two of these for most apps or three to five raided out. For windows loads I'd use one for the OS and one for games.

[afxtal]

loading photoshop that fast was very impressive
