Memory: In twentieth-century terms, active memory serves as implanted RAM. It cannot be used for any other purpose than for active utilities. Headware memory can be used for both active and storage memory. Other linked memory sources may also be used for storage memory (but not active memory). Active and storage memory costs are not included in the costs shown below and must be purchased separately.
