MRAM It has the potential to revolutionize personal computing devices - it has the potential to make PCs boot up like the lights when you flip the switch. MRAM (magnetic random access memory) has been under development by IBM since the 1970s, and recently, IBM and Infineon AG, which formed the joint venture, Altis Semiconductor, announced plans to start commercializing MRAM. The speed at which computing technologies have been hitting the market implies that you could see MRAM products hitting the market as early as 2004, with computer manufacturers replacing DRAM with MRAM soon after. IBM has received massive funding from DARPA to get some of this work done. The defence department is interested in having computing devices that retain its memory after the power has gone off. The possibilities of the technology are limitless.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
