Won't be long before memory will be a virtual entity.

Isn't it already?

You can pick up storage devices, but you can't pick up the memory/information stored inside.

That card is actually very big. On a modern hard drive platter you can fit 500GB making each GB "Spot" difficult to spot.

And on top of that you've got SSD tech that can fit a gig into an area almost too small to see.

But how much cooler is that old memory? I want four of those bad boys hanging from the side of my case, hissing and steaming with a faint radioactive glow. Oh, and the voice from Command & Conquer telling me how much RAM I am using.
