It's a PCI card supporting 4 DDR slots. The whole set, of a maximal capacity of 4 GB, can be plugged on a SATA connector and is seen as aHD, yet works at the speed of RAM.
The i-RAM is not compatible with G5s though.
Things are about to change as Gigabyte is working on a version 2 with brand new features:
- the i-RAM will now be external or might be integrated at a 5.25" format
- it will feature DDR2 and SATA II
- it will hold 8 memory slots.
This will lead to, provided you have such a sum to invest, a 16 GB HD, with performances never met until now. We're quite eager to test such a product using a PCI-Express SATA2 card on a G5 Quad.
