Hi, I have question about expanding ram.
Presently, I am working with some very large databases( in the
500 gig range) and I am searching for an inexpensive way to have the
entire databases in memory. Given that my knowledge of hardware is
not that in depth I was wondering if someone knew the best way to
expand memory to avoid using hardrives which are much slower than
ram. I am considering:
USB
FIREWIRE
BLUETOOTH
and any other possibilities.
Since cheap mother boards can only hold up to a few gigs unless
you can afford a super computer, I was thinking about having my
databases put on USB flash drives attached through a USB hub * 2
(because must computers have 2 usb ports) adding for example 16gig
usb drive * 2 hubs * 4 ports per hub is 128 gigs. I don't think
there is any common mother board out there that can hold that kind
of ram. Linux Ubuntu Fiesty is the operating system.
Any suggestions?

So far, you'll notice *CHEAP* was not part of the answer :-)
However, "inexpensive" was part of the question.
IMO it's an impossibility (although one person's definition of "inexpensive"
can be another person's definition of silly money).

As usual a very thorough reply Paul.
