Term | Definition |

Burst EDO (BEDO) | Burst EDO DRAM, BEDO is a newer EDO DRAM that is capable of processing four memory addresses in one burst. |
CAS Latency (CL) | (CAS) latency, or CL, is the delay time between the moment a memory controller tells the memory module to access a particular memory column on a RAM module, and the moment the data from the given array location is available on the module's output pins. |
C-RIMM (Continuity RIMM) | a C-RIMM is an inexpensive pass through module that allows for a continuous signal for computers with RIMM memory. |
DDR2 | DDR2 SDRAM is a double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory interface. |
DDR3 | DDR3 is a high-performance solution for CPU systems—pushing the envelope in key areas like power consumption, signaling speeds, and bandwidth for desktop, notebook, and server computing. |
Direct Rambus DRAM | The Direct Rambus DRAM is a general purpose high-performance memory device suitable for use in a broad range of applications including computer memory, graphics, video, and any other application where high bandwidth and low latency are required. |
Double Data Rate SDRAM | SDRAM, a type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on both edges of each clock cycle, effectively doubling the memory chip's data throughput. DDR-SDRAM also consumes less power, which makes it well-suited to notebook computers. |
DDR SDRAM | DDR SDRAM is a class of memory integrated circuits used in computers. |
double-sided | A double sided poster basically has an image printed on the front side and the mirror image printed on the reverse side. |
dual channels | Using dual channel memory equips you with two RAM pipelines to the CPU, to eliminate a bottleneck due to system bus. |
dual ranked | Dual-rank memory requires that each DIMM have access to two chip-select lines from the chipset. |
dynamic RAM (DRAM) | Dynamic RAM is a type of RAM that only holds its data if it is continuously accessed by special logic called a refresh circuit. |
ECC (error-correcting code) | Error-correcting code memory (ECC memory) is a type of computer data storage that can detect and correct the more common kinds of internal data corruption. |
EDO (extended data out) | EDO (extended data output) RAM is a type of random access memory (RAM) chip that improves the time to read from memory on faster microprocessors |
FPM (fast page memory) | Fast Page Mode RAM, a type of Dynamic RAM (DRAM) that allows faster access to data in the same row or page. |
