+    ** We also discussed victim cache and cache structure.
+    ** Dram structure, its density and how the memory controller refreshes the contents of dram in an interval so that the banks don't lose their charge.
+    ** He also talked about the structure of sense amplifiers and how they are used to read the data from the dram cell.
+    ** link:https://twitter.com/harshgkapadia[Harsh Kapadia^] shared an interesting article about link:https://lwn.net/Articles/252125[CPU caches].
+    ** link:https://twitter.com/PranavDani3[Pranav Dani^] shared link:https://csillustrated.berkeley.edu/PDFs/handouts/cache-3-associativity-handout.pdf[Cache Associativity Handout^] to understand the concept of cache associativity easily.
