whitepaper RAM Guide: Part I, DRAM and SRAM Basics0000-00-00 Ars Technica
  All enthusiasts know how important RAM is to system performance, but the bewildering array of RAM types on the market today makes buying RAM a challenge. SDRAM, EDO DRAM, Fast Page DRAM, RDRAM, and a myriad of other RAM types face the upgrader or the new buyer. The wide variety of RAM flavors coupled with the fact that RAM isn't quite as glamorous as CPUs or video cards makes RAM one of the least understood parts of a system. Quite often, people know the main differences between an Athlon and a PIII, or between the GeForce and the ATI Rage. When it comes to RAM, however, most people would be stumped if you asked them to explain the difference between CAS 2 and CAS 3.   
whitepaper Performance Comparison: Intel® Itanium® 2-Based Servers Running SAS 90000-00-00 Intel
  The Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER) set out to increase the performance of some of its processing- and memory-intensive SAS applications. CISER had to acquire the necessary resources to run 64-bit SAS 9.0 when it became available for the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. Yet more than 600 of its researchers still needed broad-ranging 32-bit support. This caused CISER to find an economical way to manage both 64-bit and 32-bit user communities by requiring more power. This white paper details CISER’s findings from testing done with SAS 9.0 and SAS 9.1 on Intel Itanium 2 based-servers, and how resources were affected.
