| 761675 | 2009-04-02 00:20:00 | For anyone who cares: news.cnet.com And a video here: www.youtube.com Is it just me, or do the RAM sticks look like they're twice as high as normal sticks of RAM? |

They appear to have an extra row of chips on them - I wonder whether these are available to normal consumers, or if they're a special Google-only thing? |

| 761682 | 2009-04-02 03:06:00 | I think its a joke, 2 drives?.....random search performance would be shocking.... 2 drives per server, 20+ servers per cabnet. 50+ cabnets per data center..... it called a cluster...... many computer can act as one and run very fast. |

Are you trying to tell me 50+ servers with the same info?...LOL, load balancing perhaps, that doesnt help with random access speed though, least not on my servers. |
