08.07.2008You Want 4 GB RAM on Your Notebook?
The question of how much RAM you really need is discussed roughly once every two years, and with every launch of a new Windows version. While there
are so-called sweet spots at any given time, factors such as the operating system and popular applications have an influence on the ideal amount of
RAM as well. 512 MB RAM can be considered the minimum memory capacity to execute Windows XP or Windows Vista today. However, anything less than 1 GB
will have a noticeable performance impact, as the operating system will swap data onto your hard drivewhich brings down performance and battery
runtime on notebooks. Given that, we looked at the opposite end of the equation: what would happen if you went for a comfortable 4 GB RAM capacity on
your notebook?

German engineers and physicists have made a prototype of an advanced RAM system that nears the theoretical speed limit for the process.
According to a
NewScientistTech report, this technology “ known as Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) “ is
claimed to be faster and more efficient then RAM currentlyavailable. Some companies speculate the capabilities and low power consumption of MRAM may
push the mobile market in the years to come. So far, however, the technology is in experimental stages at the moment, and is not available for
distribution.

14.08.2008Qimonda Samples GDDR5 Graphics Memory
Qimonda announced today that it has begun sampling its new
GDDR5 graphics RAM to customers. The GDDR5 RAM is available in 512MB capacities and will see duty in graphics cards hopefully in the near future.
Currently the vast majority of video cards on the market from ATI and NVIDIA are still running GDDR3 RAM. ATI uses GDDR4 in two of
its video cards. I have to wonder with the big video card makers not jumping on GDDR4 if the adoption of GDDR5 memory will happen very quickly.
Qimonda says that the GDDR5 standard is nearing finalization in JDEC. The RAM will be available with data rates up to 20Gytes/s per
component. That speed is more than double the bandwidth of the fastest GDDR3 modules commonly used today. The first GDDR5 using products are expected
in 2008.

01.11.2006Blueprints drawn up for quantum computer RAM
In the fundamentally fuzzy world of quantum mechanics, it can be difficult to keep clear memories, and that could be a problem for future quantum
computers.
Now three physicists in Italy and the US have proposed a method for retrieving quantum information from memory that
should make total quantum recall more reliable.
Quantum computers have the potential to do some kinds of calculation with
unprecedented speed, as small-scale demonstrations have confirmed. However, to perform most of these calculations effectively these machines will
eventually need to access something resembling random access memory (RAM) “ a large store of quantum information that can be selectively accessed.
Ordinary RAM contains a large array of memory cells, each holding one bit of information “ a binary 0 or 1. To check the contents of
particular cell, a computer accesses it using its address “ a string of bits that identifies the cell's location.

22.08.2007Samsung unveils the first 32GB DDR3 RAM module
Technology just keeps on increasing at a fairly speedy rate, and the glorious folks at Samsung are here to help us along with the next improvement;
according to I4U, they have just revealed their latest RAM module, this one packing a modest 32GB. The memory is DDR3, as mentioned, and is actually
designed for servers; it's constructed using Samsung 50nm 4Gb DDR3 chips, and operates at 1.35 volts, whilst supporting the trend of keeping data
center power usage to a minimum. I4U states that these modules manage to reduce power consumption by 20%, when up against 1.5V DDR3 modules, which can
save a vast amount of money when you consider the size of data centers.

iPhone 3GS, however T-Mobile has spilt the beans and have posted a few hardware specs that the device will feature at launch in a few weeks:
According to the screen shot below, taken from the T-Mobile NL website, the iPhone 3GS will feature 256MB of RAM and a whooping 600 MHz processor.
Previous versions of the iPhones that came to market included 128MB of RAM and a 412MHz processor. The added RAM alone will make a huge difference in
speed and should allow larger applications run on the device.

11.06.2009Vista struggling? OCZ launch 8GB and 16GB upgrade kits
Feel like your PC could do with a little more RAM? OCZ, the California-based memory specialist, might have the answer - 8GB and 16GB upgrade kits!
Before you whip out your wallet and hit your favorite online parts retailer, a couple of words of warning. First, you can’t
just slam these modules into any system, because these modules have a density of 4GB. Before you can use these modules you’ll first need a
system that’s equipped with either a P43 or P45 chipsets motherboard (such as the ASUS P5Q WS or the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4P). In addition to
this, if you want to use the 4×4GB upgrade kit (as opposed to the 2×4GB kit) to go up to 16GB of RAM the motherboard HAS to be rated to take
16GB of RAM, something which not all P43 or P45 chipsets boards are rated to do (for example, a quick look through the specs show that the DFI
LANPARTY DK P45-T2RS and the ASUS P5Q Pro only support 8GB of RAM).

If you bought a budget-level notebook within the past year, chances are good it came with Windows Vista and 1GB of RAM--a poor combination to say the
least. Vista needs at least 2GB to operate efficiently, especially on notebooks with integrated graphics processors (which borrow RAM from the rest of
the system).

24.04.2008Windows Machines with More than 4 GB of RAM Have Limited Shut-Down Options
Windows Vista computers that come equipped with more than 4 GB of system memory have limited shut-down options. Essentially, the Hibernate option is
no longer available on Vista machines that feature in excess of 4 GB of RAM. This scenario affects both the 32-bit and the 64-bit editions of Vista,
but at the same time also Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has confirmed that the issue is related to the large quantity of random access
memory.
"This issue occurs because hibernation is disabled on computers that
have more than 4 GB of RAM. Hibernation
requires sufficient disk space to contain the contents of the computer's memory. Performance is poor on a computer that has more than 4 GB of memory
and that has support for hibernation. Therefore, Microsoft has disabled support for hibernation on such computers," the Redmond company
revealed.

05.07.2007Windows 7 and netbooks - Where are we now
There has been lot going on with Windows 7 and that it can run on 'netbooks' - lightweight, low-cost laptops that typically use Intel's
low-powered Atom processor and don't come with substantial amounts of RAM or powerful graphics processors. It all started when Steven Sinofksy,
Windows Senior Vice President, showed off Windows 7 at the PDC, on his Lenovo S10 and said it used less than half of the netbook's 1GB of RAM.
That was followed by Jerry Shen, CEO of Asus, announcing the plans to release versions of the Eee PC powered by Windows 7 in mid-2009, including a
touch-screen version.

21.09.2005How to use more than a gig of RAM on 32-bit Linux
Nowadays, many machines are running with 2-4 gigabytes of RAM, and their owners are discovering a problem: When they run 32-bit GNU/Linux
distributions, their extra RAM is not being used. Fortunately, correcting the problem is only a matter of installing or building a kernel with a few
specific parameters enabled or disabled.
The problem exists because 32-bit Linux kernels are designed to access only 1GB of RAM by default.
The workaround for this limitation is vaguely reminiscent of the virtual memory solution once used by DOS, with a high memory area of virtual memory
being constantly mapped to physical addresses. This high memory can be enabled for up to 4GB by one kernel parameter, or up to 64GB on a Pentium Pro
or higher processor with another parameter. However, since these parameters have not been needed on most machines until recently, the standard kernels
in many distributions have not enabled them.
