Computers ship with a multitude of components, most of which are misunderstood. In this in-depth discussion with David Leong, Chris Selden, and Mark Tekunoff of Kingston Memory we explore computer memory, UDMA, digital camera memory cards, memory myths, truths, and trends. Not having enough RAM in your computer is like buying a sports car without tires, you can roll on the rims, but not all that well and certainly not quickly. In this two-part interview we get serious about memory, for your computer, your digital camera, for gaming, and for video. In part one of this two-part interview we discuss memory, manufacturing, the differences between RAM, form factors, and the specifics of throughput and speed.  If you have wondered about what is really happening with memory and what you need to know when you purchase some, then listen to these two in-depth interviews.

Governor Mike Huckabee is best known as for his political life, but he has been a dedicated guitar and bass player since he was 11 years old, and it formed a strong belief in the importance of music and art education. In this interview made during the annual NAMM conference, we discuss his love for Apple, the technology he uses for his thrice-daily audio essays, and the challenges a politician faces in fighting for music and arts education in a time of cutbacks as states and districts try to balance the budget. Can music help heal political rifts? We also talk about I Wannaa Play! the CD he created and plays on to support NAMM’s Wanna Play! Fund, an program to place musical instruments in the hands of students who could not afford one on their own. Listen on to find out more about Huckabee’s views. (18:03)
