That's true, but I don't see how it's relevant to this article. We can simply tell people "Write your programs so they use fewer resources, and they will run faster".

Reading a paragraph like this:

> "The CAS signal can be sent after tRCD (RAS-to-CAS Delay) clock cycles. The column address is then transmitted by making it available on the address bus and lowering the CAS line."

is certainly interesting but it offers no additional insight in to how to write an efficient program. Regardless of whether the row and column addresses are sent on the same bus or a different bus, the optimization strategies for programmers are exactly the same. The same goes for almost all of the information here.

Unless you're writing a kernel, 99% of this article is overkill. I mean that literally: it's over 100 pages long, and I think the important and relevant points for most programmers could be summarized in a page or two.
