Abstract

In the context of computer systems, the present invention broadly contemplates the ability to dynamically adjust the voltage and frequency of DRAM memory modules that are dual-voltage tolerant based on system performance. The invention allows a computer system to dynamically scale the memory voltage between a lower and a higher voltage, thereby allowing the system to save power when the system is idle or in low usage, but also allowing the system to realize the full memory performance when running more intensive applications.
