Bible	1: Dram The Authorized Version understood the word 'adarkonim (1 Chr. 29:7; Ezra 8:27), and the similar word darkomnim (Ezra 2:69; Neh. 7:70), as equivalent to the Greek silver coin the drachma. But the Revised Version rightly regards it as the Greek dareikos, a Persian gold coin (the daric) of the value of about 1 pound, 2s., which was first struck by Darius, the son of Hystaspes, and was current in Western Asia long after the fall of the Persian empire. (See DARIC.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Dram (currency)	The Dram (AMD) is the monetary unit of Armenia. It is subdivided into 100 luma. The word "dram" translates into English as "money", and is cognate with the Greek drachma. The Central Bank of Armenia has the exclusive right of issuing the national currency according to Armenian Law. (references)

Specialty Expressions: dram

Expressions	Domain	Definition
Burst Extended Data Out DRAM	Computing	(Burst EDO, BEDO) A variant on EDO DRAM in which read or write cycles are batched in bursts of four. The bursts wrap around on a four byte boundary which means that only the two least significant bits of the CAS address are modified internally to produce each address of the burst sequence. Consequently, burst EDO bus speeds will range from 40MHz to 66MHz, well above the 33MHz bus speeds that can be accomplished using Fast Page Mode or EDO DRAM. Burst EDO was introduced sometime before May 1995. (1996-06-25). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing..
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory)	Standards	A type of computer memory that is stored in capacitors on a chip. Most computers have DRAM chips, because they provide a lot of memory at a low cost. (references)
DRAM refresh	Computing	DRAM refresh The operation which cycles through a DRAM reading each row and writing it back again to compensate for the gradual leakage of charge from the capacitors which store the data. This may be done by the CPU but is often done by a dedicated memory controller. (1997-02-23). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing..

Nibble Mode DRAM	Computing	Nibble Mode DRAM A standard DRAM where four successive bits can be clocked out of the single data line by successive pulses on the CAS\ line while RAS\ is active. A column address is only required for the first bit. This mode is now unfashionable but can be found on some older 64 kilobit and 256 kilobit chips. (1997-12-03).

Page Mode DRAM	Computing	Page Mode DRAM Page Mode Dynamic Random Access Memory. Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing..
Rambus DRAM	Computing	Rambus DRAM A high bandwidth DRAM, designed by Rambus, Inc.of Mountain View, CA. RDRAM is used mainly for video accelerators, and also in the Ultra 64 from Nintendo. It offers sustained transfer rates of around 1000 Mbps, compared to 200 Mbps for ordinary DRAM. Although it cannot be used as a direct replacement for existing memory, it is likely that it will replace DRAM and SDRAM as the main memory system in personal computers as the bus speeds required by these machines increase. SDRAM can operate up to around 100MHz, but RDRAM has been demonstrated by the manufacturers running at 600MHz. The memory is also only 8 or 9 bits wide, so the bandwidth would increase enormously if it were used in parallel to give 32 or 64-bit memory. (1996-12-13).
