Multibank DRAM (MDRAM) is a type of specialized DRAM developed by [[MoSys]]. It is constructed from small [[memory bank]]s of {{nowrap|256 kB}}, which are operated in an [[Interleaved memory|interleaved]] fashion, providing bandwidths suitable for graphics cards at a lower cost to memories such as [[Static Random Access Memory|SRAM]]. MDRAM also allows operations to two banks in a single clock cycle, permitting multiple concurrent accesses to occur if the accesses were independent. MDRAM was primarily used in graphic cards, such as those featuring the [[Tseng Labs]] ET6x00 chipsets. Boards based upon this chipset often had the unusual capacity of {{nowrap|2.25 MB}} because of MDRAM's ability to be implemented more easily with such capacities. A graphics card with {{nowrap|2.25 MB}} of MDRAM had enough memory to provide 24-bit color at a resolution of 1024×768&mdash;a very popular setting at the time.
