ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus for computer memory power backup are described. According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a first memory; a second memory coupled to the first memory and to a host, the second memory to transfer data between the first memory and the host; and a backup power source, the backup power source providing power to the first memory and the second memory if a main power source fails.
