SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them.

"Users have been raving about the AlphaServer 4000/4100 as the next step up in the departmental server class, following on the heels of the immensely popular Alpha 2100. However," according to Hugh Tucker, Vice President of Sales, "one of the gotchas in TOC (total cost of ownership) calculations of both the AlphaServer 2100 and 4000/4100 has been in the area of memory upgrades. Combining the exceptional processor and I/O performance of the AlphaServer line with Dataram's new high-capacity memory makes this server line a strong contender against the likes of SUN, HP and IBM midrange offerings. We're excited about the interest in these memories and our ability to create added value for Digital's machines."
