Intel's SSD costs at least $500. Can PCM reduce the cost?

High temp means high power??? I didn't know that.

And don't waste your neurons and time trying to comprehend drashek/ultee's posts.

Sounds cool. You'll get the non-volatility (and maybe also unlimited write cycles) of HDD, low power consumption of flash and the speed of RAM. So you'll be able to replace them all with a single memory. No need to shutdown, you'll probably be able to just pull out the power plug and then when you plug it in again, it'll start just where you left it.

your writing hurts.

Phase Change IS Photograph altered & there it sits. Agree probably be powerful to effect change of V or more. heres new optical to mechanical sensor from Cal Tech, neat pics of two crystals arranged together, .1 nm structures capture light energy & larger area turns it into mechanical frequency. here:

Small crystals effect gradiaded or Bell Curve effected energy phase chamge in larger crystalline structure.

Photon to analog, anyone?

@others
wtf about this analog stuff???

phase change memory is a technology we already know: it is used on cd-rw and dvd-rw.

The optical property of the material are changed by heating them a few hundred Celcius. (so forget it about being low power)

it take some to cool down (however just a few nanosec. it seem)So remplacing dram? well........

PCM, if you have standard analog signal that taking periodic sample can produce numerical result, then that number is within parameters of normal operations, if sample is out of bounds signal is assumed flawed: PCM.

did uniengine test in Dx11, although have nun. like article few days ago for ati, it runs(Really Clearly) ,just slowly at 6 fps, so dx10.1 can play Dx11 software,, just not in playable range,Peepers Ce Machine Index=3,PP, so GO Shopping if YOUR DX11Game Appears.

Pulse Code Modulation, -PCM, is a standard abbreviation in digital signal processing, and is the method used for virtually all encoding of sound and video. It is not an apt abbreviation for phase change memory.
