virtual memory
no mention of virtual memory in this article or even in the template Memory types, and no mention of this article in virtual memory! --Espoo (talk) 09:11, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Is "Flash ROM" NVRAM?
Is Flash ROM, i.e. Flash memory, categorized to NVRAM? I think it is a kind of ROM, as it is named. In addition, current SSD (Solid State Drives) use NAND gate type Flash ROM, associated with a controller and some buffer RAMs. It is also not a NVRAM but a ROM, to pretend as if it is a RAM with controller.

On the contrary, EEPROM sometimes consists of 6-transistors per bit RAM structure (Random-access memory) with non-volatile memory cell. NVRAM article describes EEPROM as a kind of NVRAM. But EEPROM can be made with 2 transistors per bit at the minimum. Cafeduke (talk) 12:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, according to the lead there, Flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory. Flash can also be used as ROM if it is programmed at the factory and no write line connected or otherwise write protected. ~Kvng (talk) 17:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

DDr4 SDRAM picture
I would recommend moving the DDr4 SDRAM picture to a better place or just removing it. It just seems out of place. I would myself but I am not sure how. RyanMurphey (talk) 01:42, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I've moved this so that it is clear it is the WP:LEADIMAGE. ~Kvng (talk) 17:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-volatile memory
I can't find any WP:SECONDARY sources that discuss semi-volatile memory. There are two patents cited in. The second patent doesn't use the term or anything similar. The first appears to a patent with no uptake (solution looking for a problem) and is therefore is not notable enough to include in the article and I propose to remove it. Comments? ~Kvng (talk) 18:20, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Nor can I find any secondary sources - agree the section should be removed Tom94022 (talk) 15:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
