XDR-II DRAM is a high performance type of Dynamic Random Access Memory that is in development by Rambus. Scheduled to be released in 2007, it is the successor to XDR DRAM. XDR-II DRAM is designed to provide maximum bandwidth per pin. It will most likely be used in high end graphics cards and networking equipment. Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor. ... Rambus Incorporated NASDAQ: RMBS (founded 1990) is a provider of high-speed interface technology, most notably their Rambus Direct RAM memory technology, which was intended to replace SDRAM and challenge DDR RAM as the standard memory used in computers. ... XDR DRAM is a high performance RAM Interface like SDR-SDRAM and DDR-SDRAM. The XDR solution was engineered to be effective in small high-bandwidth consumer systems, high-performance main memory applications, and flagship GPUs. ... Bandwidth is a measure of frequency range, measured in Hertz, of a function of a frequency variable. ... A GeForce 4 4200-based graphics card A graphics card or video card is a component of a computer which is designed to convert a logical representation of an image stored in memory to a signal that can be used as input for a display medium, most often a monitor...
