My read on The Machine was that HP was developing the system in parallel with the memory component.

The idea was "imagine if you had a server with an insanely huge amount of non-volatile SRAM (that could hold OS, applications, and files), and no hard disk"

It was the "huge amount of non-volatile SRAM" part that the memristor was supposed to deliver and didn't.
