A method of operating a RAM memory having a plurality of memory addresses for storing data, the method being performed with a timing based on clock signals spaced by clock periods and comprising the steps of: receiving an address and a function signal specifying a function to be performed on data associated with that address; determining whether the same address has been received during a predefined number of preceding clock periods; generating a first data item representing data associated with the received address; modifying the first item according to the function signal to generate a second data item associated with the address, and writing the second data item to the address in the RAM and retaining a separate record of the last n second data items, the step of generating a first data item being performed by: (i) if the result of the determination is negative, generating the first data item to be equal to data stored by the RAM in the address, and (ii) if the result of the determination is positive, generating the first data item to be equal to the most recent second item associated with the address which is stored in the record.
