I blogged a while back about the gigabyte iRam. Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work reliably at all, so I ended up ebaying it. And then refunding the buyer when it got lost somewhere between the US post office and the buyers home in France. (Protip: Don’t use USPS for such things, they can’t track international packages for shit).

So everything about the iram was loss. But now there’s a new contender ready to take it’s place Acard’s ANS-9010 looks really sweet. A little more expensive (about three times the price iirc), but it’ll for sure be a good way to put all those surplus DDR2 DIMMS to good use.

I really wish someone would make one that took SODIMMs. Every time I upgrade a laptop to a reasonable amount of ram, I’m left with pairs of useless SODIMMs that I can’t use in anything else, and can’t sell (because who would buy a 512MB DIMM ? Really?).
