I was talking to a friend the other day about database performance,
when I realized that I could use Solaris' memory-based filesystem and
load the DB into RAM for truly awesome performance.  I can dump the db
every 120 seconds or so, which will be "good enough" for my
application.

So, which systems can hold >4GB RAM?  The database is between 2 and
4GB in size.

CPU speed doesn't matter too much - I am basically using the machine
as a solid state disk in this case.
