The following is the response to the inquiries as listed in the referenced letter. Please advise if additional information is required. COMMENT "Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2005 Item 9A. Controls and Procedures 1. Your conclusion does not indicate whether disclosure controls and procedures were effective as called for under Rule 13a-1 5(e) of the Exchange Act. The rule requires, among other matters, that the disclosure controls and procedures be designed "to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act ... is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms" and to ensure that "information required to be disclosed by an issuer .... is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management .... as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure." Please confirm, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures for the relevant period met all of the requirements of this section and that you will conform your disclosures in future filings." RESPONSE We confirm that Dataram Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures for the relevant period met all of the requirements under Rule 13a-1 5(e) of the Exchange Act. We further confirm that the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by our report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We will conform our disclosures in future filings to the requirements of Rule 13a-1 5(e) of the Exchange Act COMMENT "2. We note your statement that there have been no "significant changes" in "these controls" subsequent to your evaluation. It does not appear that your disclosure is consistent with the requirements of Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K. Please tell us whether there was "any change" during your last fiscal quarter that "materially affected or was reasonably likely to materially affect," your internal controls over financial reporting. Confirm that you will revise future filings accordingly".

Controls and Procedures 3. We note your statement that your chief executive officer and your chief financial officer "have concluded the controls and procedures currently in place are adequate to insure a fair presentation, in all material respects, of financial position, results of operations and statements of cash flow of the Company." It does not appear that your certifying officers have reached a conclusion that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective as called for under Rule 13a- 15(e) of the Exchange Act. Please confirm, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures for the relevant period met all of the requirements of this section and that you will conform your disclosures in future filings."
