FPM RAM Last modified: Friday, May 15, 1998

Short for Fast Page Mode RAM, a type of Dynamic RAM (DRAM) that allows faster access to data in the same row or page. Page-mode memory works by eliminating the need for a row address if data is located in the row previously accessed. It is sometimes called page mode memory. FPM RAM is being replaced by newer types of memory, such as SDRAM.
