Hi; For anyone, but particularly Les H. I have been re-reading some notes I have made on how DRAM works. As a result I have a couple of unanswered questions? 1) This question is for personal visualization purposes. I fully realize it makes no real difference on how DRAM works. What is the most common arrangement of memory cells (??) within a memory stick. It seems to be proprietary information? I have seen schematics of two possibilities; a) with each stored bit side-by-side for the length of a 'word' or in my case a 'double word' (i.e. 64 bits), or, b) in a 4 X 4 arrangement. Is there some place in the DRAM manufacturer's specification I could be looking to determine this? As I said, this question is for no technical reason. When I am thinking about DRAM memory, I use a visualizations in my mind about what is happening in memory. I would like my mental vision of the process to be as close to physical reality as possible. 2) When referring to DRAM memory, what is a 'cell'; is it physically one bit (capacitor, transistor, lines and all) or is a cell a group of them? If it is a group, from what I have read it is a bit ambiguous whether 'cell' refers to one 4 X 4 ( or one 16 bit linear) arrangement, one 'word' or one 'double word'? -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
