It's a dream to design a computer with only one memory rather than to be obliged to have at least two: RAM and a storage device like HDD or SSD.

This kind on new configuration greatly simplifies the operating system. Remember that one of the first OS for PC in the 1980s was called MS-DOS or Microsoft Disk Operating System, essentially managing the transfer of data between RAM and HDD.

But don't wait for the HP's Machine to appear before 2016 as Memristor is not ready for mass production.
