DRAM

Dynamic Random Access Memory is:
Dynamic
It loses it's contents when not refreshed (SRAM* doesn't)
Random Access
You don't need to read/write all the bits/bytes in succession
Memory
It remembers things

DRAM needs about 4 times as much transistors as SRAM* so it's generally 4 times bigger or 4 times cheaper
at any given moment. DRAM is also generally slower.

Succession of DRAM technologies:
DRAM ^ Dynamic Random Excess Memory
FPDRAM* ^ Fast Page Mode DRAM
EDO ^ Extended Data Output
SDRAM* ^ Synchronous DRAM
SDRAM* II ^ Synchronous DRAM with double data rate
D-RDRAM ^ Direct RAMBUS DRAM
SLDRAM ^ SyncLink DRAM

RAMBUS

The future trend (in 1998) as a technology for PC memory after DRAM, FPDRAM* and SDRAM*.
