That might be an accurate way of viewing this. I'd think that a specialized flash memory would be preferable for this, such as some SLC that is specifically optimized for this, to alleviate the reliability concerns. It would be expensive per GB, but it could be cheaper than RAM per GB and if it's done right like the guys from the article have been talking about and working on, then maybe it could be a better solution than what we use now, at least in high-capacity servers such as powerful web servers and such.

That's probably true too, but not even remotely comparable and thus relevant to what is being looked into here.
