San Jose, Calif., startup MetaRAM has launched new technology it says can quadruple the memory capacity of servers and workstations. The DDR2 MetaSDRAM technology boosts performance and at the same time decreases the cost of high-performance systems, the company said. Founded by former AMD Chief Technology Officer Fred Weber, MetaRAM produced technology that convinces a device’s memory controller that multiple DRAMs are instead a single, larger capacity DRAM. The MetaDRAM chipset packs in four separate 1 GB DDR2 SDRAMs into a single, virtual 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM.
