For the past ten years, the size of RAM’s has been consistently increasing. The days when we used 4MB RAM’s are gone, and we are witnessing the advent of RAM’s of several GB’s. The latest RAM’s out in the market are around 2 or 4 GB’s. From the DRAM’s , SDRAM’s, several generations of RAM’s have evolved to the latest DDR2, DDR3 versions. Hynix-made DDR3 DIMMs packing a whooping 16GB of memory were reportedly created via the MetaRAM method. The demo system included no fewer than ten of these modules. That means the machine possessed an unbelievable 160GB of RAM. Still, these RAM’s will mostly be used for research and security purposes and will take some time to reach the consumer market.
