@spockfish, We certified a firmware update to the ALTAIR last week…I don’t know if it is released yet, but I’m sure it will be eventually, and they’ll announce.
@scirica, More recently on the topic of memory play…. I was disappointed with the lack of feedback following that post. I was prepared to bang out a product plan if someone had a clear proposal 
.
The “bursty vs smooth” aspect is a tricky thing to navigate, and very difficult to measure fairly, since it’s easy to miss the first burst when setting things up, and many tests don’t last long enough to get to the second one.
