"Storage would be a pretty far out move for Intel." This is a rare case when I might agree with you ;-) However, deep pockets know high ambitions. Who knows what is cooking under their Labs. Low-frequency multi-level flash devices may have the power consumption low enough to be stackable into 3-D solid blocks for example. Currently the disk areal density is up to 50bits/um2, almaden.ibm.com or 50x of the best 1um SDRAM cell, but who knows, maybe the volume density could be better than for the surface-only disk drives. - Ali
