Buggi,

As said to Rink already, Speed is the highest concern to me.
Its at least impossible in my mind, that NOR could ever reach
DRAM speeds, which will rise over time too.


To make a complete comparison, you have to add the speed of hard disk into the equation. Wherever hard disk becomes more and more limiting factor, Virident solution becomes more attractive.

As far as speed of DRAM, the DRAM runs at speeds of 100 to 200 MHz. Higher in specialized places, but closer to low end (100 and 133 MHz) in buffered server memory. DDR, DDR2 etc just double and quadruple the speed of the interface. So Spansion is not really that far behind the DRAM cell.
