Computer memory unit?
Byte chip? disk?
ROM memory is Non vollatile memory?
Yes. Read Only Memory remains on a chip or a disk. You can not change it. It does not vanish when the computer is turned off. Some programs can access ROM. Sometimes disks crash. You should have backups.

Is a virtual memory a special chip inside the hard disk?
No.Virtual memory is a file stored on the disk and managed by the operating system software. As needed the operating system copies blocks of internal memory out to this file to free internal memory and copies blocks from this file to internal memory when a program needs it again. To assist the operating system in this task the computer has to have virtual memory management hardware and interrupts.All of the hardware that is involved directly in the operation of virtual memory is part of the computer, not the harddisk.
What is afloppy disk?
A floppy disk is an old type of removable, computer memory storage.
What are the factors affecting the speed of your computer?
Your computer's speed can be affected by a number of things. Some of the things that affects speed include RAM size, whether the computer is infected or not, and the size of the hard disk.
How does a computer's processing capacity affect the amount of ram you can use?
All programs and data are executed from memory (RAM) but it first needs to be fetched from wherever it is stored.If there is insufficient free memory, then some memory must be freed up by writing t to disk in the paging file. You can minimize the chances of this happening by maximizing the amount of memory in the PC. . The second impact is memory speed, especially the speed at which data can be transferred between RAM and the CPU. Data is actually transferred to cache memory on the CPU chip from main memory before it is executed,and then results are written back to main memory. The speed of this data transfer is affected by the design of the system, and the speed and quality of RAM installed, and by the setup of RAM timing in BIOS.

Why is it that the instructions being executed must be in physical memory of the computer?
When a computer gets ready to execute the next instruction, it pulls it out of memory of some sort or another. first it tries it's local high speed cache RAM, usually a part of the CPU chip. If it's not there, then it looks in the slower speed RAM. If it finds it there, the memory controller pulls a block of memory from RAM to cache then executes it there. If it doesn't see it in RAM, it looks for it in virtual memory, which is actually a part of the hard disk drive. When it finds it there, it pulls a block into RAM, then into Cache memory, where it is executed. Actually, the move from virtual memory to RAM is done way ahead of time, as the controllers see that the computer might need that block of memory in the near future. So you can see, all the instructions are executed in the small high speed cache RAM. This is done for speed. If all the instructions were executed in RAM, as computers once did, they would be 10 times slower. A lot of computer design is optimizing the memory controllers so that almost all of the instructions are executed out of high speed cache, and the processor rarely has to wait for the cache to fill up. If the computer executed out of hard disk space, it would be thousands of time slower.
How do the average memory chips in a computer work?
The average memory chips in a computer work by storing data temporarily and allowing faster access to programs than a hard drive. The speed allows for less disk requests and makes the system faster.
Should you work offline when running disk defragmenter?
disk defragmenter pieces fragmented memory in the hard drive of the computer in question back together to speed computer performance. if u r trying to do this on a personal computer, then it doesnt matter at all. but u should run disk cleanup first or it may take awhile to defragment.
