So that means if you-- whether you own a Mac, PC or whatever, you have a whole chunk of RAM memory which you can draw for instance as a rectangle, if you can't quite see.
Rambus originally sued Infineon claiming patent infringement on two kinds of PCmemory: SDRAM, which is commonly used, and DDR, a newly developed type of memory.
In the fourth quarter, demand for PCmemory will remain weak but DRAM for mobile devices and servers is projected to keep growing with the introduction of new products and a boom in the smartphone business.
The flaw, which affected the virtual machine monitor (VMM) in Virtual PC, could enable an attacker to use applications running in user-space on a guest OS to access portions of the Virtual PCmemory that should be inaccessible to those applications.
