In short, MetaRAM’s technology enables DIMM capacity increases of two or four times, so that a single DDR2 MetaSDRAM DIMM can hold 4GB or 8GB of memory while still being a drop-in replacement for a normal DIMM. Because MetaRAM’s high-capacity DIMMs look to an Intel or AMD system like normal DDR2 DIMMs, the company expects to see servers with memory configurations that would normally require expensive custom hardware to become significantly cheaper. One of MetaRAM’s channel partners will soon announce a server with 256GB of main memory for under $50,000, with 500GB boxes on tap for a higher price points
