Page mode RAM is a now superseded design of RAM that provided a read and write performance increase in RAM of the time. At the time to read or write data to a memory cell, a signal would be sent to a row and then a column to define the specific cell, the data would be read or written and the column and row closed. Page mode allowed for the row to be held open so that multiple reads or writes could be performed on columns in that row saving the time needed to select and deselect the row each time.
