Ars article
It seems like it doubles or quadruples the maximum RAM capacity in any machine with DDR2. 16 GB of RAM in a MB = Awesome.

Pretty cool. I wonder how much more expensive they'll be.

Indeed. 16,384 GB of RAM in a single GB would be great. I could fit 81,920 MB of RAM into my Mac Pro. I wouldn’t need a hard drive.

With that kind of RAMmage, who’d ever want to switch the thing off?
(Except possibly the local power plant)

If you were sucking that kind of juice they'd probably come out and build you your own power plant.
For a small fee, of course.

Of course.
‘Small’ in the same way that the GNP of Bangladesh can be considered loose change.

Don't all the limitations of OS and memory controllers still apply?

I would assume the OS would still apply (OS X won't be a problem, OS X can handle exabytes of RAM), but the article says the sticks have their own memory controllers that tell the memory controller on the main board 4 GB when you actually have 16. Kinda like the RamDoubler of the DOS days.
I'm no RAM expert, but thats what I took from the article.
