ISP Information:
One possible future successor to SDRAM, and competitor to DDR SDRAM. DRDRAM (also now simply called RDRAM) was originally developed by Rambus, Inc. This RAM architecture is capable of speeds starting at 266, 356, and 400MHz, and transfers data on the up and down ticks of a clock cycle, where standard SDRAM tops out at about 200MHz. You may see RDRAM referred to at 532, 712, and 800MHz, but that is actually 266*2, 356*2,

DRDRAM - dubspam@yahoo.com (Dubs) wrote in messagenews:: Hello People, I'm planning a big fat roadtrip from California to Alaska. I'm going to do internet work on the way, and I need a data capable cel phone that works well in rural areas. I'm on a shoestring budget, and I'm planning to spend some time working in Washington and Montana on the way. Does anyone have any advice for me? Please post your response, as this e-mail address is rarely checked.The rural areas are AMPS only, if anything. I've been in Alaska forten days on vacation. In Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Seward there isCDMA coverage, elsewhere there was only AMPS (coverage was suprisinglygood with AMPS, mainly it was National Parks where there was nocoverage).There is more TDMA coverage than CDMA, but of course there is no dataon TDMA, and everywhere there is TDMA there is also AMPS. So thedownside of having CDMA versus TDMA is that battery life is worse witha CDMA phone on AMPS than a TDMA phone on TDMA.There is no GSM service in Alaska. There is no Nextel iDEN service inAlaska. AMPS is king, followed by TDMA, then CDMA.[Lisa Minter note: A question for whoever: Why is 'digital' good butAMPS is bad? Why are rural areas AMPS only? Lisa M.]
