One thing that no one has mentioned so far that you could do
with very large memories is table lookups. Sure everyone knows
that a table lookup is faster than than a calculated solution
almost all the time, but how many people would it occur to to use
it if the resulting table would be several hundred megabytes
or even larger? It seems to me that this could be significant
in some applications, like weather forcasting.
