subject: PSRAM Cellular RAM: Pioneering Enhanced Computer Efficiency [print this page] RAM is a fundamental part of the computer operating system. It may not be possible to run a system effectively if it is running low on RAM. But the primary concern of all the people is as to how much RAM would be adequate for their system, which may or may not be possible for people to determine.
Blending DRAM with SRAM:
As both the static & dynamic memory modules were clubbed together, the Cellular RAM module came into existence. Auto refresh, low power consumption, quick access, high-speed read & write, fast data transfer and SRAM pin compatibility prove to be some of the finest features of this hybrid computer RAM module.
Stepping the Complete Dynamic Age:
As the in-built capacitor and integrated circuit was improved, computer RAM manufacturers came up with DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). Although it needs to get refreshed on a regular interval (otherwise the data can be lost), it has several other added advantages in comparison to other RAM modules.
Now-a-days, the industry is witnessing advancements in computer RAM, ranging from DDR RAM to DDR2 RAM and DDR3 RAM that ultimately lead to dual data rate & triple data rate transfer capacity. This all helps in increasing the speed and efficiency of a computer. RAMs are available in various storage capacities ranging from 512MB to 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and so on. The higher you go, the better efficiency you get. This is the reason why people tend to upgrade their computer RAMs if they are into web designing, online gaming or any such field that requires heavy RAM usage.
When it comes to the DRAM modules, the suppliers and RAM manufacturers offer Dual in-line package (DIP) with:
Single In-line Pin Package (SIPP)
Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM)
Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM)
Rambus In-line Memory Module (RIMM)
Small outline DIMM (SO-DIMM)
Of all these, the DIMM is the most common one used in present day laptops and computers with:
72-pin (32-bit)
144-pin (64-bit) used for PC100 / PC133 SDRAM
200-pin (72-bit) used for DDR and DDR2
240-pin (72-bit) used for DDR3
These technical configurations have made industry very specific for clients' requirements. You can tell your RAM supplier or RAM manufacturer the exact requirements for your work and ask him to get the most compatible RAM module for you.
