If your talking about a PC then it will take a while before PC are fast 
enough
to do this.

Most PC can only do about 200MB/sec on a memory copy.  With the
newer memories 400MB/sec.  Memory is one bottle neck.

You also have a bottle on the PC buses that would limit the Maxim aerate
throw put.  The PC buses need to get faster.

100 MB/s is doable 200MB/s is possible.  It depends on how much money
you want to spend and how specialized  you want to get.
