why is SDRAM is not in this category. I looked at SDRAM page and found that actually it already in this category. What happened?

The same with DRAM benny, 08 May 2005

Because those pages are REDIRECTs (to Dynamic random access memory, which is in the category). It looks like the mediawiki software won't let Redirects have categories. -R. S. Shaw 05:45, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

May be it is good to make category:computer memory form factor in which e.g. DIMM, SODIMM, SIMM can be included. It may not be quickly clear to the readers what is a form factor/form and what is a technology e.g. SDRAM DDR2 etc. Andries 06:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please add the Radechon memory tube? Info for the RCA 6499 is here "http://lampes-et-tubes.info/sc/sc022.php?l=e" including the datasheet. I do not know how to add things properly on a page like the "Category". Hence, the suggestion to add another memory tube. It is significant holding a monstrous 16Kbits in a 4000x4000 pattern, capable also of analog storage by simply writing with the beam, as it is an electrostatically deflected and focused CRT, and it was used in the Rice University Computer. (side note, 4 of them NOS, were recovered from the garbage in Texas. They are safe. Some day, perhaps someone can try to operate one) Thank you, Patrick J208.190.133.202 (talk) 02:20, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category scope

[edit]

This category presently has 183 articles and is quite user-unfriendly as a result. I believe the cause is the category's scope. While, the category defines its scope as encompassing all forms of RAM (this is my interpretation of the rather vague introductory statement), it looks like any article with the slightest relation to computer memory has been included. To make it easier for readers to navigate, I would like to limit the scope to main memory topics only. Does this go against undocumented consensus? Are there any comments regarding the above?
