	Imperial Measures of Weight
		A dram is short for a drachm, but since the avoirdupois drachm is different from the apothecaries drachm, it could be that the name "dram" was used to help distinguish it.
		The unit of mass in the Imperial system is a ridiculous unit called a "slug," which weighs 32 pounds avoirdupois under standard conditions.
		However, scienceworld.wolfram.com says that the pound or pound-force is the unit of weight and the pound-masses is the unit of mass, although slugs are more used.

	Mass
		One kilogram was equal to 1 litre (1 cubic decimetre) of pure water at 4°C. In 1901 the kilogram was finally defined as the unit of mass equal to the mass of the international platinum-iridium prototype of the kilogram.
		Later in order to simplify scientific calculations the kilogram was defined as being the base unit of mass.
		The developers of the metric system of mass had two goals: (1) to have one system that covers all ranges of mass (unlike the Troy and avoirdupois systems used in imperial) and (2) integrate mass into the metric systems of length and volume to form one cohesive system.

		DRAM makers are raising contract prices as much as a third in response to demand on the spot market, where the value of 128Mbit synchronous chips spiked after Christmas due to tightening supplies.
		DRAM equilibrium has been evident in recent weeks with pricing on certain configurations firming, bringing relief to chipmakers that were under water for much of 2001.

	General Tables of Units of Measurement
		The tables of British linear measure, troy mass, and apothecaries mass are the same as the corresponding United States tables, except for the British spelling "drachm" in the table of apothecaries mass.
		The equivalent "1 teaspoon = 1-1/3 fluid drams" has been found by the Bureau to correspond more closely with the actual capacities of "measuring" and silver teaspoons than the equivalent "1 teaspoon = 1 fluid dram", which is given by a number of dictionaries.
		TABLES OF METRIC UNITS OF In the metric system of measurement, designations of multiples and sub-divisions of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth.

		It appears, that the visual processing unit will merge NVIDIA’s present and future generation architectures and will have built-in memory controller that supports Rambus’ XDR DRAM.
		Naturally, the PlayStation 3 graphics processing units supports XDR DRAM memory developed by Rambus.
		A report over Japanese web-site PC Watch suggests that the PlayStation 3 graphics processing unit will use NVIDIA’s technologies found in the current NV40 generation of its own chips as well as numerous techniques developed for the next-generation part known under NV50 code-name.
