The big thing about memristors is that they are stable. Think ram that doesn't go blank when you turn the computer off. The first application that comes to mind is basically save-states. You could just shut your computer off, and when you turn it back on, it would resume from where it left off. Of course, the memristors would have to become much, much faster. The way I see it, memristors could eventually displace hard-drives, and unify computer memory.
