WHAT the hell is FCRAM ??????
fastCAS ram?????

FCRAM - Fast Cycle Ram.. basically a faster SDRAM...

there was an article that described it better, but I'll be hard pressed to find it... it was posted when the G450 just started to make rumors and news, I think

Nice dig, skeeech.

Looks like maybe Matrox is serving up yet another industry leading video card memory scheme

More info about FC-RAM and comparison to other memory can be found here:

FC-RAM looks quite promising ...

Hi There!

However, toshiba/fujitsu claim that FCRAM is mostly aimed at low letency intensive apps such as main memory and memory for network routers etc... They promote DDR or Rambus (bliah) for high bandwidth apps... However due to the fact that the rambus and FCRAM have more banks there is greater chance to get a page hit, and thus the effective bandwidth is bigger... I dunno about FCRAM.. it seems to be very expensive at this point...

Anyway I would prefer some cached DDR-II please :-)
