Modern memory kitsaren't lacking in the speed department, and the release of DDR5 standard has introduced even faster RAM to the gaming crowd. That said, althoughmemory frequency and latencymatter quite a lot in gaming-oriented setups, there’s another type of memory called ECC (Error Correction Code) RAM that’s often relegated to server PCs. If you’re interested in assembling your own server chassis or are planning to grab a cheap rack/tower chassis from eBay, you’d be surprised at how useful ECC memory can be in a dedicated storage setup.

Memory is important for almost any modern-day device, but back in the day, computers measured their memory in bytes and kilobytes, not megabytes and certainly not gigabytes. Japan had cemented its supremacy in memory chips in the 80s with its 64K memory chips, capable of storing roughly 8KB of memory total. Later, Japan again went ahead with its 256K DRAMs, a technology we still use today, capable of holding roughly 32KB. However, in 1984, Hitachi went further, announcing on Jan. 6 that it had created the world's first 1Mb memory chip, which measures out to roughly 128KB today.

In November last year, Samsungannounced the world's first LPDDRD5X DRAMchip for mobile devices. The new chip promises significantly faster data transfer speed while consuming less power than LPDDR5 RAM. We have yet to see a commercial phone with LPDDR5X RAM, but that may change soon as Qualcomm has now validated the new memory module for its mobile platforms.
