It'll be huge assuming that they're reliable, can be manufactured cheaply, and perform well. DRAM is a very advanced technology. It'll be a while before memristor-based RAMs enjoy the benefits of that kind of background. In the end, like I said above, you show me memristors that blow transistors out of the water and I'll start designing with them tomorrow. (Of course, I have my reservations that they'll be much help for analog circuit design: with regard to CMOS, the last few generations have been friendly to digital designers but decidedly unfriendly for analog design. (Give me 0.18u or 0.13u CMOS any day.) Really, almost all analog CMOS chips, even at advanced nodes, still have older, bigger devices integrated as well. Even at 65nm, good old 0.35u or 0.25u devices are used for i/o and a large amount of analog design because the advantage of using smaller devices is between somewhere between negligible and negative for a lot of designs.)
