     Fast Page Mode has traditionally been the most common DRAM. A "page" is the section of Memory available within a row address. Accessing Memory is like looking up information in a book. You choose the page, then FPM gets information from that page. FPM DRAMs need only to specify the row address once for accesses within the same page addresses. Successive accesses to the same page of Memory only require a column address to be selected, which saves time in accessing the Memory.
