Memory was cheap but now its cheaper.
Its my impression that hardware costs tend to fall in January. Possibly due to lower demand... In any case I have had a look at the cost of servers with large amounts of memory and can see they are cheaper than the system I bought a year ago.
Imagine running a JVM using close to 1 TB of memory of commodity hardware. :D
Memory in GB | Cost with 2+ GHz processors |
---|---|
24 | £1,800 |
64 | £4,200 |
1024 | £53,000 |
