The thing about artifically enhancing memory is that it can be tested on animals -- mazes and whatnot.

Of course, human memory is probably a lot more subtle, but it doesn't reside in the hippocampus, does it? I studied this in neurology once but this is one of the things I forget.

Isn't memory stored in the cerebral cortex? So this is just a way to assist the part that processes the information.

Isn't memory stored in the cerebral cortex?

It seems to be associated somehow, but the brain is still unknown territory. It's nowhere near certain that memory is stored in the brain as in computers. Even if it is, it isn't digital.
