In my effort to learn the difference between volatile and non-volatile memory, I came to the conclusion that NCII's success goes hand in hand with the flash chip, flash card, flash disk or nonvolatile-memory industry. Therefore, I have further interpreted this statement: ________"The rebound of flash prices will partly come from improvements ________in the dynamic RAM business, which should move some of the ________excess capacity out of the nonvolatile-memory segment back into DRAMs" to mean that increased prices in nonvolatile-memory segment will reduce nonvolatile-memory unit sales (and possibly NCII). - - - - - - - - volatile memory (DRAM or SRAM) A memory that does not hold its contents without power. A computer's main memory, made up of dynamic RAM or static RAM chips, loses its content immediately upon loss of power. Non-volatile memory (flash memory). A memory chip that holds its content without power. Derived from the EEPROM chip technology, which can be erased in place, flash memory is less expensive and more dense. Unlike DRAM and SRAM memory chips, in which a single byte can be written, flash memory must be erased and written in fixed blocks, typically ranging from 512 bytes up to 256KB. techweb.com
