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)

Not really, once a row is open you can write into it with byte granularity, and closing the row is just disconnecting the bitlines. Only row opening is destructive, and the lower voltages are fixed in dozens of nanoseconds for the whole row (64K in parallel) by the sense amps.
