I don't think this was what I was looking for..
Maybe it has nothing to do with CF (Compact Flash) and is some other sort of
"solid state ram" technology.
I don't think it's a "card" at all.. I guess it's something we fit in the
PCI bus or even directly to the IDE bus...
I've seen a firewall/proxy hardware device here in Portugal wich was
advertised has having solid state memory instead of hard disks.. And I dont
believe it's something that pluggable as a card or a usb memory pen..
