Called the "Excalibur", it was an external 2MB RAM drive, and retailed for between $599 and $699 US. With the RAM capacity expandable in 1MB increments, its internal battery was said to be effective for between 6 and 8 hours, and, unusual for the time, it was connected via the Macintosh floppy disk port.

An affordable RAM Disk compatible with all Windows Workstation and Server OS versions (32- and 64-bit) starting from Windows 2000. The content of the RAM Disk can be made 'persisted' i.e. saved to an image file on the hard disk at regular times and/or at shutdown, and restored from the same image file at boot time.
There are a number of other companies (AMD, Microchip, Altera, etc.) making specialized chipsets as part of other ICs, and they are not often found in PC hardware (laptop, desktop or server). There are also a number of now defunct companies (like 3com, DEC, SGI) that produced network related chipsets for us in general computers.
The project was known as "the $100 laptop", but it originally cost $130 for a bare-bones laptop, and then the price rose to $180 in the next revision. [11] The solid-state alternative to a hard drive was sturdy, which meant that the laptop could be dropped with a lower risk of breaking—although more laptops were broken than expected—but it ...
Synchronous graphics RAM (SGRAM) is a specialized form of SDRAM for graphics adaptors. It is designed for graphics-related tasks such as texture memory and framebuffers , found on video cards . It adds functions such as bit masking (writing to a specified bit plane without affecting the others) and block write (filling a block of memory with a ...
Today the term external storage most commonly applies to those storage devices external to a personal computer. [5] The terms refer to any storage external to the computer. Storage as distinct from memory in the early days of computing was always external to the computer as for example in the punched card devices and media. Today storage ...
Nearly two years ago, NFL fans watched in horror as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) midgame. But the now-26-year-old ...
It must also be constructed from static RAM, which is far more expensive than the dynamic RAM used for larger memories. Static RAM also consumes far more power. CPU speed improvements slowed significantly partly due to major physical barriers and partly because current CPU designs have already hit the memory wall in some sense.
