In less than 24 hours, Apple will announce its iPad 3 on-stage at an event in California. However, a few tidbits are still trickling out about Apples latest tablet.

Chronic Wire is now reporting this evening that the iPad 3 will feature 1GB of RAM, according to some simple math

In February, BGR posted exclusive photos of debug outputs from an iPad 3 development unit. The last line said:

vm_page_bootstrap: 244276 free pages and 8396 wired pages

From there, Chronic Wire has done some simple math to determine that the iPad 3 will feature 1GB of RAM:

244,276 (pages) x 4,000 bytes (size of a page) = 977,104,000 bytes = 977MB

Apples iPad 2 features 512MB of RAM, so an increase to 1GB is definitely welcomed. The iPad 3 is rumored to include an upgraded dual-core A5X processor that should make for a very speedy device. Many were hoping for a quad-core a6 processor, however, it appears we might have to wait for the iPhone 5 for such technology.
