Oddly enough, I'm in agreement. :)

Today, it really makes little sense to have memory, CPU and high-speed
peripherals on separate bus slots.   At least for the cases being
discussed, memory is dense and inexpensive enough that there's really no
good reason to put it somewhere else.

Data transfer between peripheral devices and CPUs is a different matter
and can be handled by existing serial buses--which is what I thought the
original question was.
