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)
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)
[edit] Category scope
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?
