Abstract
An apparatus is described that includes a memory card. The memory card also includes volatile memory devices. The memory card also includes non volatile memory devices. The memory card is configurable to implement a first portion of the storage space of the non volatile memory devices as system memory. The memory card also includes a controller to manage, upon a power down event, the transfer of information from the volatile memory devices into a second portion of the storage space of the non volatile memory devices.
