Fun fact: people like to say that unlike Flash memory, RAM can be read or written to one byte at a time, but that's a lie. A typical DIMM's memory array can only be addressed in 64KiB blocks! Writing one byte means reading 64K, modifying one byte, and writing 64K! (1/n)

Replying to @pawel_lasek
actually 64kib, I got bits/bytes mixed up. But yes, 64 kilobits: 1024 addresses × 64 bits.
