that is just theory. Where would you buy a SRAM to run at 1033MHz??? In the same category: parlel is faster than serial. then why is SATA faster then IDE? > > D > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Travis Siegel [mailto:tsie...@softcon.com] >> Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 12:24 PM >> To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net >> Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] dd for DOS? >> >> Now, I'm surprised they didn't carry this research a few >> steps farther. >> The claim is always made that if computers didn't need to >> refresh their memory, they wold be magnitudes faster. >> Why not build a computer (liquid helium cooled) that does >> exactly what they tested in this experiment. >> I.E. no need to refresh memory at all except for once an hour or so. >> Wouldn't that make the machine much faster. >> Effectively it would be 0 refresh, since in 99 percent of >> cases, nothing needs to remain in memory for an hour anyhow >> during normal computer usage, only update the memory when it >> changes, and not have to worry about loosing memory continuity at all. >> You could of course implement some sort of a sleep mode (I.E. >> dump the contents of memory to a flash drive or nvram or >> something) when not used at all for x minutes, this would >> negate the need to refresh even after an hour. >> There's always technology researched for making machines >> faster by running them at higher clockrates, but this would >> do wonders for speed, as there would never need to be a >> single memory refresh under normal operating circumstances. >> Of course, all this is theoretical, until someone does the >> testing, but it is a nice idea.
