What is DRAM?
DRAM, which stands for Dynamic Random Access Memory, is a form of fast and 
inexpensive data storage essential to the operation of computers and other 
digital devices.  DRAM chips, which contain semiconductor integrated 
circuits, are normally assembled into modules (“DRAM” refers to both chips 
and modules).

The Settlements include the following types of DRAM: Extended data out 
(“EDO”); Fast-page mode (“FPM”); Reduced latency (“RLDRAM”); 
Synchronous (“SDRAM”); Rambus (“RDRAM”); Asynchronous (“ASYNC”); and 
Double data rate (“DDR”).  The Settlements do not include 
static random access memory (“SRAM”).


What devices contain DRAM?
All devices containing DRAM are included in the Settlements.  From 
January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2002, DRAM was included in many different types 
of digital devices, including computers (laptops and desktops), servers, 
graphics cards, video game consoles, MP3 players, printers, PDA’s, DVD 
players, Digital Video Recorders, Point of Sale Systems and others.  If 
you have any question about whether or not you bought a product containing DRAM, 
call 1-800-589-1425.


Do I need to supply documentation or proof of what I purchased?
