I'm not sure exactly what you're hunting for, but I've got lots of old
sound cards (as well as other hardware, modems, video cards, and so
on) and would be more than willing to send you one for the cost of
shipping.
They're all sitting in my work shop, and I don't have enough computers

Now, I'm surprised they didn't carry this research a few steps farther.
The claim is always made that if computers didn't need to refresh
their memory, they wold be magnitudes faster.
Why not build a computer (liquid helium cooled) that does exactly what
they tested in this experiment.
I.E. no

Hi,

There was, but nobody used it and it was only supported
by PCI graphics cards with built-in sound or similarily
"exotic" hardware as far as I remember. I doubt that any
significant number of games supported that either.

No, you can work as if you were swapping: The 386 and newer

Sorry for jumping in at the last minute, but to encrypt something in RAM,
wouldn't you need an external hardware-based encryption algorithm to run the
data through when inputting/outputting? Otherwise, when a program loads data
from the RAM and it gets decrypted, it would show up in the RAM that

The FreeFDISK of FreeDOS is very scriptable and can do this.

Hi!
Recently I did expand my computer from 1 GB to 2 GB of RAM. Finally I
checked that it's running well with Memtest86+ V2.11. I am also pretty
sure that the harddisk can not be the problem as it's a mobile disk and
working on other configurations ok.
For now I found two strange behavior.
