officer.

Commenting on Mr. Marcher's promotion, Mr. Tarantino said, "Lars has more
than 19 years of management experience working for global companies within
the information technology industry. He has contributed greatly to the
development of Dataram since joining the company three and a half years ago.
He developed the plan to expand our OEM business, which has grown from 17% of
revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to over 50% during the first
quarter of our current fiscal year.  He is well regarded by our management
team for his vision and enterprise in developing and executing strategic
initiatives."

Mr. Marcher joined the Company as vice-president in March 2001. He was
appointed executive vice president and chief operating officer in September

Mr. Tarantino concluded, "In our prior fiscal year, we returned to
profitability. Our first quarter of this fiscal year also showed dramatic

achieving this success. His role as president should strengthen the
effectiveness of our managerial team as we continue our profitably growth."
