In the PC world, I don't know. But SRAM was fairly popular in the S-
100 world, even with its higher power dissipation. My old MITS
Altair had 2 boards of 4K TI DRAM and it would drop bits if you
looked at it crossways. When I replaced those with some SSM static
RAM boards (91L02s), I was much happier.
