Something seems a bit dodgy. The about page shows the top and bottom PCB layouts without any RAM sockets, only dozens of DDR RAM ICs soldered directly to the back of the card.

...Which would be fine, had I not stumbled upon (what seems to be) the original project[1], in Russian no less.

The blog shares the same block diagram, images and DDR PCB layout. There are no DDR RAM slots. Further, the slots are through-hole and not SMD, you wouldn't be able to attach a heatsink directly to the back of the card as shown in the images.

That doesn't seem to be the original, given that Google Translate translates the top of the article as "originally posted by" with a link to ddramdisk.tech, which 404s now, but originally [1] did not.
