ram inquiry

[hahawillow]

Okay, now I understand what CAS, RAS briefly do. But one thing I'm still not very clear. During the CAS, RAS signal is activated, an address of memory is send and some memory is retrieved. But how "large" is THIS memory. Is it just one bit of memory is retrieved each time after the CAS latency? Or is this memory as large as the bus width of the ram??

It is not really a set amount. It is more like a floating point, depending on what information is needed. since memory bus is 64bit it will send the information over this bus. Each memory address is a byte so when information is transfered it will send however much it needs. Weather it is a byte or megs of information.
