PS/2 Port PS/2 ports are based on IBM Micro Channel Architecture. This type of architecture transfers data through a 16-bit or 32-bit bus. RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) Developed by Rambus, Inc. , this type of memory can deliver up to 1. 6GB of data per second. RDRAM is the first interface standard that can be directly implemented on high performance VLSI components such as, CMOS DRAMs, memory controllers, and graphics/video ICs. [. . . ]
