Also MB, Mbyte and M-byte. See mega and space/time. (unit) megabyte - (MB, colloquially "meg") 2^20 = 1,048,576 bytes = 1024 kilobytes. 1024 megabytes are one gigabyte. DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module for the PC164LX Alpha(R) Motherboard listed on DEC's approved supplier Internet Webpage (www.digital.com/semiconductor/alpha/alpha-memlist.htm) as final approval is obtained from DEC for workstation application Dense-Pac Microsystems Inc. (Nasdaq:DPAC DPAC Denver Performing Arts Complex (CO, USA aka: DCPA) DPAC Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (insurance) DPAC District Parent Advisory Committee DPAC Dover Partnership Against Crime ) Tuesday announced that its 256 Mbyte Synchronous DRAM Synchronous DRAM - Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. ) memory module has been qualified by Digital Equipment Corp.'s (Semiconductor Division) for use in its PC164LX Alpha(R) Motherboard. The 256 Mbyte SDRAM memory modules utilizes Dense-Pac's patented high density memory technology allows a system memory of one Gigabyte for the DEC motherboard. The Dense-Pac part number has been added to the Digital Equipment's compatibility list displayed within the Digital Semiconductor Alpha(R) Web page. "Digital Equipment Corporation has approved Dense-Pac as an approved supplier of 256 Mbyte SDRAM for the PC164LX Alpha(R) Motherboard," stated Tony Gucciardi, Semiconductor Division Product manager of Digital Equipment Corp. "The Dense-Pac 256 Synchronous DRAM which has been tested by Digital Equipment in the PC164 LX Alpha(R) Motherboard at Dense-Pac and then at DEC. This product enhances the performance of a workstation application. Digital's new and enhanced family of high performance Alpha(R) Motherboards continue to raise the bar providing the industry's highest per-processor speed and application performance." John Sprint, vice president of operations of Dense-Pac, stated, "We are delighted with the qualification of our product by Digital Equipment's Semiconductor Division. With the introduction of this product, we are penetrating the commercial Internet workstation market and offering products that enhance the performance of our customer workstation products.
