"Fabless semiconductor company MetaRAM today launched a new memory technology, called DDR2 MetaSDRAM that promises to double or quadruple memory capacity while maintaining compatibility with existing DIMMs."

"MetaRAM achieves this feat by using 3D chip stacking methods to fit more capacity into a single memory chip. Such a method alone would have caused issues with compatibility, but MetaRAM developed a custom chipset that sits between the chips that makes the multiple DRAMs look like a larger capacity DRAM to the memory controller."

"The company claims that its advancement has accelerated memory technology development by two to four years."

32 gigs of memory on an existing 4 DIMM mobo, c'mon someone has to think that's cool besides me.

Huge upgrade for servers, kinda superfalous for desktops, but still cool. Always fun to see something new and dynamic come out of the tech world.
