26.04.2009You 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?

Power
efficiency is said to be a particular benefit of the 8050, conferred partly by its 1GHz

draws a maximum of 3.5 Watts. The use of DDR2 RAM also helps save power; the device has 1GB of RAM, along with 1GB of disk-on-module (DOM) storage.

22.05.2009Windows 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.

29.03.2006Qimonda 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.

07.09.2007Blueprints 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.

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.
