A Ram biography, A Ram discography
RAM will launch in October, after the opening of a RAM installation at Morsel gallery.The installation runs through October 16.We were invited to go over and get in with a bunch of other kids, and my mother sat and chatted with her friend.My mother took me out of the pool and home.She wasn't angry, she couldn't understand why I, who loved dirt and outdoor play, was upset about the grass sticking to me.Jason Ray, a senior who serves as Carolina's mascot, was critically injured Friday night.That implies that it's somehow lucrative.But at least a trumpet player or a tumbler can show his face.When you're a mascot, you learn to see the world through two small eye holes.You have to speak only with your gestures.Jason Ray traveled with the tools of his trade in a black trash bag.He looked like just another tall guy in a Carolina windsuit.Ten minutes later, Ray was gone.Even a few football players smiled.He might be getting passed through the student section.Or maybe he's over there directing the band.Whatever he's doing, they love it.As a daddy, there is nothing better than making your kids laugh.So this is an enormous admission: Rameses can make them laugh even better than me.He runs out of the tunnel, he dances like the Blues Brothers, and sometimes he even sits down on press row and slums with the media.If you're a parent, this is the kind of day you dread.Rameses is going to be on the news frequently in the days to come as more news trickles out about the car accident in New Jersey that took his life.What do you say when your kids ask you why Rameses is on TV?And neither should college kids.They chose to do it, and to watch them you would have never known what they knew.Even before then, though, there was no outward sign of distress from the cheerleaders.It wasn't the looks on their faces that were most telling.Communication, of course, is one of the hardest parts of being a mascot.Once all the kids had been hugged and the last picture had been taken, Rameses finally disappeared..."Thanks for holding that picture," he said.It was the perfect portrait of someone who had spent most of the day giving...Research

here.RAM DefinedRAM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor.When you turn your computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into RAM, usually from your hard disk.If RAM fills up, the processor needs to continually go to the hard disk to overlay old data in RAM with new, slowing down the computer's operation.Unlike the hard disk which can become completely full of data so that it won't accept any more, RAM never runs out of memory.RAM is small, both in physical size (it's stored in microchip modules) and in the amount of data it can hold.These holes connect through a bus or set of electrical paths to the processor.The hard drive, on the other hand, stores data on a magnetized surface that looks like a phonograph record.Today's personal computers come with 16 or more megabytes of RAM, usually increasing in multiples of 8 megabytes.Why Random AccessRAM is called "random access" because any storage location can be accessed directly.IBM has preferred is direct access storage or memory.ROM are also accessed directly (or "randomly") but the term random access is not applied to these forms of storage.ROM), a more expensive kind of memory that retains data even when the computer is turned off.Every computer comes with a small amount of ROM that holds just enough programming so that the operating system can be loaded into RAM each time the computer is turned on.In describing a RAM chip or module, a notation such as 256Kx16 means 256 thousand columns of cells standing 16 rows deep.In the most common form of RAM, dynamic RAM, each cell has a charge or lack of charge held in something similar to an electrical capacitor.Externally, RAM is a chip that comes embedded in a personal computer motherboard with a variable amount of additional modules plugged into motherboard sockets.How Data Is AccessedWhen the processor or CPU gets the next instruction it is to perform, the instruction may contain the address of some memory or RAM location from which data is to be read (brought to the processor for further processing).This address is sent to the RAM controller.The RAM controller organizes the request and sends it down the appropriate address lines so that transistors along the lines open up the cells so that each capacitor value can be read.How RAM Effectiveness is MeasuredThe amount of time that RAM takes to write data or to read it once the request has been received from the processor is called the access time.Typical access times vary from 9 nanoseconds to 70 nanoseconds, depending on the kind of RAM.More recent advances in dynamic RAM have improved access time.Burst (or SynchBurst) Static RAM (BSRAM)Burst SRAM (also known as SynchBurst SRAM) is synchronized with the system clock or, in some cases, the cache bus clock.This allows it be more easily synchronized with any device that accesses it and reduces access waiting time.Dynamic RAM (DRAM) Dynamic RAM uses a kind of capacitor that needs frequent power refreshing to retain its charge.Apart from reading, just to maintain the charge that holds its content in place, DRAM must be refreshed about every 15 microseconds.Fast Page Mode DRAM (FPM DRAM)Prior to newer forms of DRAM, Fast Page Mode DRAM (FPM DRAM) was the most common kind of DRAM in personal computers.Page mode DRAM essentially accesses a row of RAM without having to continually respecify the row.RAS) signal is held active while the column access strobe (CAS) signal changes to read a sequence of contiguous cells.This reduces access time and lowers power requirements.However, because Intel and other manufacturers preferred SDRAM, BEDO DRAM was not widely used.Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) is a special kind of RAM that retains data when the computer is turned off or there is a power failure.ROM), it is powered by a battery within the computer.It can also work by writing its contents to and restoring them from an EEPROM.Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is a generic name for various kinds of DRAM that are synchronized with the clock speed that the microprocessor is optimized for.This makes it easier to compare the bus speed and the RAM chip speed.You can convert the RAM clock speed to nanoseconds by dividing the chip speed into 1 billion ns (which is one second).JEDEC SDRAMJEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) SDRAM is an industry standard synchronous DRAM.JEDEC SDRAM chips operate at either 83 MHz or 100 MHz.JEDEC SDRAM is also known as PC66 SDRAM because it was originally rated for 66 MHz bus operation and to distinguish it from Intel's PC100 architecture.The i440BX was designed to achieve a 100 MHz system bus speed.Intel Socket 7 system (but not in a Pentium II because its L2 cache speed runs at only half of processor speed).It's expected that a number of Socket 7 chipset makers will support this form of SDRAM.This means that many accesses will be from the faster SRAM.In case the SRAM doesn't have the data, there is a wide bus between the SRAM and the SDRAM because they are on the same chip.ESDRAM is apparently competing with DDR SDRAM as a faster SDRAM chip for Socket 7 processors.In this approach, all signals to RAM are on the same line (rather than having separate CAS, RAS, address, and data lines).Since access time does not depend on synchronizing operations on multiple lines, SLDRAM promises RAM speed of up to 800 MHz.Like Double Data Rate SDRAM, SLDRAM can operate at twice the system clock rate.It is also expectedto replace EEPROM and SRAM for some applications and to become a key component in future wireless products.In spite of its name, ferroelectric RAM does not contain iron.Today's FRAM uses lead zirconate titanate (PZT); other materials arebeing considered.The main developer of FRAM is Ramtron International.Somewhat confusingly, the most common type of video RAM is called Video RAM (VRAM).All types of video RAM are special arrangements of dynamic RAM (DRAM).When images are to be sent to the display, they are first read by the processor as data from some form of main storage RAM and then written to video RAM.RAMDAC) into analog signals that are sent to the display presentation mechanism such as a cathode ray tube (CRT).While the processor is writing a new image to video RAM, the display is reading from video to refresh its current display content.With displays using other technologies, the signals are sent to a corresponding mechanism.For displays with true color, the digital color data is fed directly to the DACs, bypassing the SRAM table, which is not needed.RAM that is used for video memory.The Matrox Mystique is an example of a video card that uses SGRAM.It has features that make it more efficient to read data for use in block fills and text drawing.It's used in the Matrox Millenium video card.Traditional video RAM is monolithic; the entire frame buffer is accessed at one time.Rambus Dynamic RAM Rambus Dynamic RAM (RDRAM) is a video RAM designed by Rambus that includes a proprietary bus that speeds up the data flow between video RAM and the frame buffer.It's optimized for video streaming.Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM)Main memory in small devices??The PC Technology Guide has a section on "System Memory."Tom's Hardware Guide includes "A RAM Guide."Rambus describes how the Rambus DRAM works.Quiz What the heck are they talking about?Quiz

VCU Rams: Women's Tennis vs.Feb 27 2008
VCU Rams: Men's Basketball vs.Powerbook around the same time.That is just astounding to me.It seems so ridiculous that a company so bent on simplicity and great design encourages a somewhat informed consumer to buy a machine, and then immediately have to open it up, and plug in new chips.Macs or OS X or something seems to be really, really picky about RAM.Lower quallity, cheaper RAM can cause all sorts of bizarre and unfortunate problems.So it pays to check, mostly because RAM *does* fail, and having service thru Apple will be a lot easier than thru another vendor.So this this is not much of a surprise, but dang, that is a pretty ridiculous rate for a couple sticks of RAM.GB stick) by having my MacBook ship with no RAM whatsoever.This would make jumping to 2GB that much easier (and cheaper) for the average user.Big companies and rich spenders dont care.So buy it on up from crucial or wherever, but remember to remove it if something requires service.Youll need it, weather you want it or not.Has anyone investigated the performance effects of swapping out the HDD with a 7200rpm drive on a Santa Rosa MacBook (or MacBook Pro)?Apple to gain money off their addicts.Both including shipping and tax.Would the machine fail to work, or just work slower?Apple store after installing Leopard and overheard a conversation with one of the techs about how when ram is manufactured there are 4 different grades of the same exact ram.My iMac G5 came with Samsung RAM.Samsung RAM in a Mac is identical to Samsung RAM that you buy anywhere else.At least more savvy buyers can get RAM cheap and just drop it in themselves.On the MBP, which has a dedicated video card, Apple ships a single module.This price disparity used to be true of Apple hard drives too, but lately the prices have dropped and come down more in line with street prices.Quad G5, it was almost as expensive to buy the 500Gb Hitachi hard drives on the street as it was from Apple.Apple Service responds to foreign RAM is a crapshoot.NZD to upgrade to a 250gig drive.Apple has just been slow to keep up with their upgrade prices.But when it is actually manufactured, many of the chips do not meet that target, because of any number of reasons, mostly having to do with the extremely complicated fabrication process.Lot), all those chips are sent through hours and hours of testing.So there will be a certain percentage that do meet the 800MHz target, then another percentage on top of that that meet 667MHz, then hopefully most or all the rest meet 500MHz.Now, on top of that, it is possible that Apple requires their RAM suppliers to perform special tests or test flows on all the RAM they get.It really all depends on how much control Apple exerts over the supplier.RAM from Apple and buying RAM from a 3rd party (I prefer Crucial).CAS being an acronym for Column Access Strobe).CL2 is actually faster than CL3 (and often costs more), since it has a latency of 2 clock cycles instead of 3.Google will probably help explain the details better than I can.Buying from online Apple Store is rarely the best deal in the first place unless you go for a refurb (obvious choice by thousands of developers out there, like new, but better tested).In CA sales tax adds to the bill.It takes at least 2 weeks for the latest product line to be updated there though (they still only have the previous version there today).Never had any speed issues or problems with their RAM.Apple overcharged for RAM, but just out of curiosity I checked their online store anyway.RAM depending on how you get it configured in your computer.So consider yourselves getting a bargain when you buy ram from the US Apple store!OWC, Techworks, and maybe Micron or similar.Maybe they bumped up their prices after all your traffic went their way.For a while it seemed that prices were close to third party (maybe only double) and for some that was worth the convenience.Now it seems that, at least with the 4GB option, the price is completely out of touch with reality.CL2 is actually better performing RAM than CL3.Another way of looking at it is that knowledge has value.Chris:
If one of your RAM modules fails, it can cause all kinds of havoc.TB of such files and 6GB of RAM in that machine.Incidentally, I had seen the problem before in some source code.Apple Retail Store and get this question a lot.Often, the cheaper RAM you can buy from a 3rd party online is the same RAM Apple sells, but the particular chip was passed up by Apple for some reason.As some have mentioned, it might have failed one of the esoteric RAM tests that Apple puts the chips through.So, Mike, your MacBook RAM was tested in a MacBook.RAM out there in Mac world is budget RAM.Thanks for chiming in, everyone.Back in 2001, I was actually advised by an Apple UK saleswoman to buy a RAM upgrade from Crucial!!Apple knows how to make profit.And as long as some people are buying Apple computers with additional RAM, they will continue to charge a lot for it, period.RAM, they replaced within 48 hours.Apple are not doing themselves any favours in ripping off the unwary with their RAM prices.RAM for the size chip you want, to make a comparison, not the lowest or close to the lowest.For example, I used the Crucial upgrade tool, and their RAM may be very good, but its also very cheap.MacBook Pro and was debating the value of having Apple upgrade or just purchase it myself.Interesting reading as always, Mike.RAM is higher because corp customers *can* pay more and often will for the simplicity and ease of buying from one vendor.March or April 2007 for Fall 2008 purchasing).This is so they can properly budget for their computing needs on grant applications, etc.Hours on hold here, arguing purchase dates there, waiting for RAM shipments, removing bad RAM, installing new RAM, testing machine, etc.RAM went bad (actually it was declared non compatible by an OS update) on an old Pismo they replaced it right away for me.RAM and shipped it out to me.You have to remember that the standard machine price is made up of all the initial components.When you upgrade something, it should first remove the price of the base component and then add the price of the new component!You can give 1GB to Photoshop and 2GB to After Effects and still have 1GB for the Finder, Safari, Mail, and others.An additional bonus of buying these refurbs is that they often come with extra RAM or larger hard drives at no additional cost.Part of the fun of receiving a refurb is seeing what components, if any, will be upgraded for free.PBs, since so much is stuffed into such a small space).Tibook in for a combo drive repair, they also replaced damage to the case (which was user inflicted) and the keyboard (which had gotten a little melty from a cigarette ash).Applecare not only paid for itself, but paid for the next two extended warranties I will buy.More: Save your old RAM.If you need to send your Mac in for service, replace your third party RAM with the factory RAM.RAM upgrade has a large wallet and a small mind.To be honest, the low range on prices is a valid comparison seeing as Crucial is quite a big company, and their RAM is quite widely distributed.Heck, the tax and shipping from Apple is nearly more than the OWC entire purchase!Its disgusting the amount Apple charges for RAM.Its already known you can get the SAME EXACT Ram for much cheaper.RAM upgrades without voiding warranty or Apple Care agreements.About the Author:Mike Davidson is CEO of Newsvine in Seattle, WA.Stuff White People Like

This section provides you with
some insight as to what some people on the ramtruck mailing list have
done to their truck to improve the performance and guidelines to keep
in mind when you want to improve the performance.Here is a list that went around
on the list some time ago, it shows what people suggest to do to
increase the performance of their (gas) engines.Keep the old computer for those times you need to use cheap fuel,
tow something, or haul a major load.Maybe after all of
the other things are done, I'll look into it.As far as I know, these tires have extremely strong side
wall strength.There is no sidewall bruising evident after 9k miles.Several people seem to have
changed their tire pressure on their trucks to counter for heavy loads
and or tire wear.Just add air to give a full foot print on the road when you load
the rear of the truck.When
on the front end it made the truck drive like it needed a front end
alignment.With the
diesel, I usually run about 54 front, 46 rear.R16 on his 1997 RAM 1500
4x4.What are the biggest tires that fit on a 2500?What is an Borla Exhaust.They also make a version that exits out the rear.V8 rumble compared to
the stock exhaust but isn't too loud IMHO.My experience has been added
horsepower, increased MPG and increased drivability (especially on
mountain roads and highways).It has also lessened the auto
transmission downshifting problem going up hills.Their clamps ain't going get it!Borla,
yet they did not tell us that when the purchase order was phoned in
back in August.Cures all
leaks and I can foresee no reason I would be pulling the system apart
as long as I own RAM.But after some months of having both I am
having MUCH trouble keeping the header bolts tight.The general perception of those
driving a RAM seems to be that the shocks that come from the factory
are not the best ones by any stretch of the imagination.Scott Bessel:
Since Friday I have been
running a new set of Edelbrock IOS shocks, one word WOW!MPH without hesitation and without scaring
the life out of you, and if you hit a rut or bump the shocks absorb it
without launching the tire and loosing traction.Application: 2500 and 3500 4x4 regular cab, 2500HD and 3500 4x4

bolts to your transmission to give you more Overdrive or a extra gear.You can start in HI or direct drive it
does not matter.You have to shorten the rear drive shaft and lengthen
the front drive shaft.The Overdrive is less than 100lbs on the truck.You will need to have the drive shafts made at a shop.N) These filters work on the principle of providing
the engine with more air and thus increasing it's mileage and
horsepower.Although these improvements have not been seen by all (I
noticed maybe a mile to the gallon more, and a slightly faster throttle
response)
They do offer one additional
benefit, they are guaranteed for the life of your vehicle (or 1 million
miles).So once you buy one, you never have to by another.You have to
clean them every so many miles, (mine stated every 40.Airfilter is just that, a drop in replacement filter for your stock airbox.Each FIPK has a specially
designed filter with special woven cotton fabric sandwiched between 2
layers of wire mesh screen.Air moving in a
straight direction moves faster than tumbling air thus creating an
increase in air flow much like a ram air effect
I paid about 49,50 for my drop in replacement.More expensive than drop ins.Can create extra hassle if truck in accident.RHINO LINING From my place in

approaches.Unlike my
tow hook install.Andi Vogt: I use Grizzlies on
my 1500 Short box.Grizzlies because they are a touch
shorter than Smittybuilt and mount to the frame leaving only a 2" gap
between them and the lower side panel of my Ram.They don't cause any
rubbing either with my slightly over sized 32x11.Jim this time
confirmed wouldn't fit.This time Jim says they NOW make one to fit my 2x4.Jim said they would pick up the shop charges.But even if tank needed no alteration, it would not
have fit as they say.We needed 1"+ to 2" spacers on all corners AND
sending unit they provided could not be used nor was needed.They have yet to admit there is a
problem so they're gonna sell you tank for your RAM and fit be damn.But I have yet to see evidence or testimony from Aero that
they make a tank, to replace your OEM one, for the RAM 2x4.Several people have made suggestions.Seems to carry the bluish tinted headlights some people have seen.They
seem to come in several different wattages.The Rams are heavey trucks, and
sometimes take some effort to stop.The Cummins diesel engine
The 2500 and 3500 series are
available with an optional 5.When starting the engine it seems to take the oil
light a few seconds to go off, and the oil pressure a few seconds to
start registering the operating pressure.It happens because all of the oil finds its way to the
pan (a thin coating remains, but not much).Caterpillar developed HEUI jointly with Navistar.Dodge recognizes only 4 oil filters for warranty.These 4 are really
the same as far as I can tell, the part numbers being Mopar, Case,
Cummins, and Fleetguard.Fleetguard is a Cummins subsidiary.Mike Leckey, Jr: I have used Shell Rotella T 15w40 for 7 years.The Cummins diesel on the Ram
is incredibly powerful.Here are some hints to what you can do to get more performance
from the Cummins.Without any thought, the
biggest "bang to the buck" (IMHO) is to purchase one of the power
increase kits that are advertised in the Register.This is a small "family type"
business where the owner use to work for Cummins but now just sells
power mods.NOT recommended for automatics)
Each of these kits comes with a
video tape and detailed instructions showing you how to install the
kit.So why
doesn't everyone do it?Well there are a few problems.The
second is that the truck (transmission, driveline) is not designed for
this extra increase in torque and if one is not careful you can and
will start overloading and busting things.Although the guy who sales
this product said they haven't had many problems with this as long as
you don't do stupid things like popping the clutch.LB
Torque kit but have not yet installed it because I'm currently arguing
with the dealer over some other warranty work.So I don't want to
modify the engine until all of this other work is done under warranty
and see that it was done right.So it will be awhile yet.Someone else
on the list, Jeff Hammer, if I got his name right, has installed the
605 Torque kit and apparently loves it.What is this ISB engine I keep hearing about.Starting with the 98 model year
Cummins is introducing a new diesel engine that is replacing the one
that they have been putting in the Ram.This is the new ISB engine, its
main reason for existing seems to be to meet the new emissions
regulations.Scott Nixon, Thanks very much
for the additions Scott.!Ram trucks equipped with 4WD
have a full time chain driven transfer case (NVG231HD in 1500s, NVG241
or NVG241HD in 2500s and 3500s) that should only be engaged on low
traction surfaces.Usage on pavement can cause damage due to driveline
binding; usage on rain slicked pavement is open to debate.All available transfer cases
are shift on the fly for 4Hi and can be engaged by pulling the shift
lever towards you.MPG), put the transmission in neutral, slide
the transfer case into 4Lo, and then put the transmission back in gear.Shifting back into 4Hi is done by reversing the above procedure.The system consists of a dog
clutch that slides over to connect the two halves of the passenger side
front axle when engaged.Some wheel movement may be required to get
both halves to align.This also allows the transfer case to be lubricated.In other
words, if you have 4WD, find a nice dirt road and use it!!Stock, shmock, I want to lift it!Available lift kits Here
is a list of some of the Lift kits that people on the list seem to use
when they want to rise above the crowds.Andi Vogt: IMHO, engaging four
wheel drive is like driving a different vehicle.There are new rules
and governing factors that need to be heeded.In snow and ice, A 4x4
can help you to maintain traction, but as with any vehicle, excessive
speed, inattention, and bad luck can send you careening out of control.People get stuck using 4 lo all
the time.John Donovan: The stock
differential on the Rams is referred to as an "open" differential.The one in the air take very little torque to spin, and therefore
the one on the ground also gets very little torque and you won't move.Engaging 4 wheel drive turns the front wheels in the same manner as the
rear, if you get one front and one rear into a situation where they can
spin easily, even if the other 2 wheels can get a grip you will still
be stuck.For people who spend a lot of
time off road open differentials are unacceptable.The truck will tend to chirp tires in turns, and
will also tend to go straight rather than turn.The second option is a gear
driven LSD, the most common being an Auburn.Under normal operation the
diff..When torque is put on the drive shaft,
the diff.This is very problematic in turns when the wheels are
driveling different diameter circles to go around the curve.Also because of the
locking nature of the diff.Detroit's and there is a big difference
between them.The Detroit is hard to beat off road, but is hard to live
with on road.V10 or Cummins up front.The LSD is almost unnoticeable on road, and
does help with traction.Why you can't use an LSD in a front CAD system TBD
7.So what can you do to get out equipment wise.?Mopar tow hooks a few months ago and what a devil it was!If I were to do it again, I
would remove my airdam, remove my brush guard, mount the hooks to the
lower holes in the brush guard, hacksaw off the bolts extra length, and
reinstall the brush guard.Then I would cut out the slots on the airdam
for the hooks and reinstall.Had I done this originally, I would have
had less stress.Next time I
would hire a few muscles to help me.Dodge Ram
