Thanks for the news. And I know a technology breakthrough is at the moment.
But sustain rate boost from 10MB/s to 20MB/s still is not significant. I was
always thinking if people really have important application which needs
super fast speed, why not just build a ram pool? e.g. a nice mother board
supports 512 MB is very common, if you can load 256 MB as ramdrive for your
app, imagine how fast it will be. 256MB costs about $500 today. It's just
day dreaming, I don't even bother to check how win95 handles ramdrive.
