Interesting concept with regards to memory being a single "chip". Sadly, as
of the Shadowtech and the Cybertechnology, it does fluctuate however, and
isn't going to be "fixed". However, I do think it would be possible to create
such, and have it makes sense with regards to both our current computer
developments as well as SR's.
