| Perennial search for more computer memory Compliant with Moore's law stating that computers will double in performance every 18 months, one can maintain a similar statement that a thousandfold increase in desktop RAM capacity occurs every 15 years. That would mean we would see 1 TB computers by 2020, 1 PB computers by 2035 and 1 EB computers by 2050. But likely well before that point, RAM will no longer be a characteristic of a specific machine, but be fluidly and ever present for every computing machine much like the utility model. In that case the total amount of RAM will no longer matter. |
