A large number of start-up companies are specializing in fast static RAM's and managing so far to hold their own against Japanese competitors.

That, plus their smaller size and several features unique to their design, give static RAM's their speed advantage.

The trade-off is that the bins of a static RAM are more complex.

They are planning to use static RAM's sparingly in cache memories.

Having fully static RAM and a processor whose clock could be frozen without losing state meant spectacular battery life, measured in weeks or even months.

The other kind of chip is a static RAM.

Thus static RAM allows the computer to achieve a true zero wait, even at 16MHz.

Therefore, you get less memory per chip, and that makes static RAM a lot more expensive.

The video card, it's static RAM or whatever it is.

The static RAM, however, was reduced from 128 bytes to 64.
