This is a long and detailed technical thread on how dynamic RAM has evolved over the years, particularly in how it interfaces to external components. The tricks used to improve interface bandwidth will make you shudder: adaptive tuning to compensate for signal propagation delays which vary with supply voltage and temperature, for example.
