| - A memory chip was a multi-purpose data storage medium. Some were designed to be used with the Personal Universal Translator. Each chip allowed for up to eight standard hours worth of recording from the PUT. Any sounds that were picked up by the PUT were recorded on these specialized chips. The range of recorded sounds was well into both the ultrasonic and subsonic ranges to allow accurate recordings from nonhumanoid species. The chips could not be overwritten or modified, and so each chip was only usable once. Memory chips could also be used to enhance the memory capacity of droids.
- A memory chip is a computer chip that can contain one or more programs or data either temporarily (RAM), permanently (ROM, PROM) or permanently until changed (EPROM, EEPROM, flash memory).
- A memory chip, also called an eidetic chip was a (rather sizeable) bit of bio-electronics that was implanted in a person's brain to aid their memory. The only kind of memory chip specifically described in the Vorkosigan Saga was the Illyrican-made chip in Simon Illyan's head; it didn't catch on as a technology due to the 90% probability that the recipient of such a chip would develop schizophrenia as a result.

Illyan's chip was described as producing a second, parallel set of memories for its owner; though only for sight and sound – smell, taste, touch, and any emotional overtones were omitted from its records. By the time of the events of Memory, Illyan was the one person in the Nexus with the longest baseline for having the chip in place, namely 35 years. It is unknown if there were other successful installations of these chips or of similar technology.
