IBM RAM Integrated Circuits

International Business Machines (IBM) was incorporated in the state of New York on June 15, 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company. Today, IBM is one of the largest manufacturers of computers and perpherials in the world. The company has vast integrated circuit manufacturing facilities and has been on the forefront of hardware and software design for decades.
