What else can I help you with?
What happens if your computer memory gets full does it get slower?
The answer is yes. Windows has a file on your hardrive called a page file that it uses for additional memory if the normal memory (RAM) gets full. Hard disk is much slower than memory so yes, it becomes vastly slower.
What is the difference between cache-memory and primary-memory?
Cache memory is smaller and quicker, primary memory larger and slower.
When do you use your virtual memory?
When your PC runs of of physical memory - it uses the hard drive as memory so it's much slower when it gets to that point.
Why would you use a slower memory in MHz if a faster memory is available for a marginal price?
They had a mental break down and died
What do you call running a memory chip slower than it was intended to run?
Running a memory chip faster than it was intended (used most often) is called over-clocking. So, if you run a memory chip slower than it was intended it could be called under-clocking.
Difference between virtual memory and RAM?
Answer(Techsupport)Resolution: RAM and virtual memory are two different things. Virtual memory allows you to use a portion of your hard drive as though it were RAM. Your hard drive is up to 100 times slower than RAM, so virtual memory is much slower than RAM. When you upgrade your RAM, you can reduce or eliminate the use of virtual memory. Upgrading RAM makes memory available to complete tasks previously handled by virtual memory.
Why the input output devices are slower than cpu or memory devices?
because of their design
Can your graphics card access extra memory from your computer?
Yes, this is called shared memory. But it isn't useful, its mostly a gimmick because the memory speed is much slower than a graphics card with dedicated memory.
Why is it important that new expansion memory compatible with the existing memory?
Non-compatible memory will work much slower then intended and may actually keep your computer from running in rare cases.
How does virtual memory management assist in the process of multitasking?
Virtual memory management assist in the process of multitasking by providing extra memory when a computer has used up all its RAM. Virtual memory is however slower than RAM.
Why you have two types of memory?
There are more than 2 types of memory. RAM has to be very fast in order for the computer to work quickly enough. Magnetic memory and WORM memory can be slower but is persistent (retains its information when the power is shut off)
What is a memory performance measurement in which the slower number the better the performance?
Access Time in nanosecondsExample:Access Time: 8ns
