I'm impressed. I ordered one to help debug BZ#6163, but I think these
cards will help expose bugs in libata due to their high speed. With
these cards, we can push more data through libata than would normally be
possible with a standard disk drive.

I was thinking.. Someone on the Xen list suggested using suspend/resume
for dom0 systems. Now, doing that to an i-Ram card would be nice.
I do some systems integration, and when AMD releases their Pacifica
cpu's /and/ decent graphics (GLX/openGL based, I think it'll be) gets
working in Xen, I could imagine having XP and/or W2K3 sleeping on such a
card, for almost instant wakeup for a quick test.
Mind you, I don't live my life with those OSs, fortunately
If only they'd make them for more than 4GB ram.. maybe that'll change
when AMD starts pumping DDR2-based cpu's into the market, so both [AMD
and Intel] will be using DDR2, and prices may go down.
