Uses of the RDRAM

RDRAM came into use a decade ago. On both the falling and rising edges of the clock the data is transferred. This synchronous dynamic RAM was designed by the Rambus Corporation. So it is called the Rambus DRAM. The simplicity of its design provides for more memory bandwidth with a lower cost. It has a narrow bus allowing the circuit board to be designed in a simple way and making it cost effective. There is a visible increase in latency, the heat output; manufacturing complexity and cost also are slightly different to the previous ones.

These variations resignificant in RDRAM. This has been an accepted transition strategy. This has found a place as a technology suitable for future motherboards on a standard for memory architectures. The Rambus DRAM has many advantages like accurate clocking, pipelining data and command, signaling possible in low voltage, and a protocol command which is packet based. RDRAM by its metal cover which is a heat sink makes it easily identifiable as a computer memory. Direct chips of this memory module can be built with dual channels. RDRAM is the high speed memory, with a high performance for computing.

Memory module should be upgraded in matched pairs; suitable chipsets to the motherboards. RDRAM offers sustained transfer rates and is used for video accelerators. This is the latest device and as a memory subsystem it is expected to help the growth of technology and replace the conventional dual in-line memory module, this RAM used in high-performance workstations and servers has come as a big surprise.
