A ferromagnetic memory cell is disclosed having a base (), oriented in a horizontal plane, a bit (), made of a ferromagnetic material, and a sense/write line (), positioned proximate the bit () sufficient to detect the directed polarity of the bit when a first current is applied thereto, and to direct the polarity of the bit when a second larger current is applied thereto in a given direction. The bit () has a height that is oriented perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the base, and a polarity that can be directed along the height.
