Intel’s crazy-fast 3D XPoint Optane memory heads for DDR slots (but with a catch)

It was clear from the beginning that Intel and Micron’s new 3D XPoint memory—which promises “1,000 times” the performance of today’s SSDs—would require a faster pathway into the PC. After all, SATA, ...

3 DDR-RAM slots with socket 754.

I just noticed a bulging transistor on my current MB, so maybe I will have to change MB.<BR><BR>This is kinda ok though, because I'd like to go to 2GB from the 2x512MB I have now. I allready run the 2 ...

Debugging DDR memory interfaces using area-based triggers

DDR bus protocol allows signals to go idle, or tri-state, when they are not active. When debugging or performing JEDEC conformance measurements on the DDR interface, it is often necessary to perform ...
