Umm... I don't know about you... but that description didn't help me much... infinite bandwidth? What is this? How is this? How does linux get past physical hardware limitations that other os's can't?

100Gb/s? Then they're almost there! I'm sure infinity isn't much bigger than that.

That makes for an interesting comment, previously people have been ignoring linux and gunning for windows.

You got it to work? With which vendor's card?? At this point, I am so frustrated, I'm willing to throw money at the solution and buy a new Serial/Parallel ATA controller, if it is affordable enough ($20-30). My understanding, however, was that libata itself (not just the individual drivers, like sata_promise) had no support yet for the PATA connector on any SATA adapter.

I believe the patches allow trusted(?) applications to lock small amounts of this memory without requiring root.
Something like that, I follow along enough to know what's going on, but don't understand everything to it.
