Is it time to look into capacitors for RAM to cut costs?
>>108632103I used to pull these out from random electronics as a kid, like remotes, most would still work.
>>108632103what do you think RAM is?
>>108632152KISSU
>>108632103Might help a bit.
>>108632176Wat
Fuck off we're empty
in my day we manually wound our own core memory and nobody complained
>>108632217Until your CPU locked up on a bad instruction and started reading the same line over and over, making it catch fire from the heat.
>>108634481[citation needed]AFAIK there's no reason accessing the same place continuously should make it burn up
>>108632103DRAM is capacitors, retard.
>>108632152cool kids used to pull out big ones and charge them straight from power outlets and then shock girls.
>>108634714On magnetic core memory accessing a particular address makes the physical wires at the junctions used to store the bits for the word at that address heat up, potentially to the point of damage in the case of CPU malfunctions. Whether that ever actually started a fire is controversial but it was a popular legend in the mainframe days, similar to the semi-mythical possibly-real line printer fires.
>>108634720dram is whisky you faggot
>>108634720I’m going to D RAM your mom, friend.
>>108632176RAM is essentially a capacitor array my guy
