If there's any intention to add live tv caching then ram should definitely be available to the user as a storage option. Although I don't really care about the feature, I don't mind if my ram is being used whereas I absolutely don't want a harddrive constantly running for it. Btw, I haven't paid more then $20 for 2x2GB sticks of ram in ages, though I always take advantage of MIR's on them. I actually have 8GB sitting new in the packaging but didn't want to pass up some great deals. :)
RAM + HDD = SSD
More like flash ram + hdd = ssd. You don't want to use an ssd for something like this just yet. Btw, I picked up a 30GB ssd drive which is now the os drive on my Vista 64 desktop. Damn nice! Boots to desktop in about 7 seconds. Almost no load time for apps (even large with many plugins). I can't wait until ssd technology matures a little more and the price drops!
Overheating, spinning... it's something from dinosaurs' era :))
Yes! :)
