1. A method for managing a computer memory to conserve power, wherein the computer memory is divided into at least first and second memory banks, and a memory controller comprising a driver circuit section and a logic circuit section is operatively associated with the second memory bank, said method for managing a computer memory to conserve power comprising the steps of: counting references to a first page of memory in said second memory bank; calculating a reference frequency for said first page of memory; comparing said reference frequency to an established criterion; and transferring said first page of memory into said first memory bank if said reference frequency exceeds the established criterion; counting references to a plurality of pages of memory in said first memory bank; calculating a reference frequency for said plurality of pages of memory;. selecting a second page of memory from said plurality of pages based upon said reference frequency associated with said selected second page of memos; and transferring said second page of memory out of said first memory bank upon said transferring of said first page of memory into said first memory bank.
