Can your computer have 1.2 GB of RAM?

Yes and no... Computer RAM comes in sizes which are powers of 2. It's possible to have one stick of RAM at 1024 MB and one at 256 MB for a total of 1280 MB. This is about as close as you can come to 1200 megabytes of RAM.


What if your friend has discoverd he has 128 mb of ram installed in two slots on his motherboard that has four slots and supports dual channeling the board runs at 667 mhz and uses ddr2 non-ecc dimm?

I would say that something n the information is incorrect. I don't believe that there have ever been 64 MB or 128 MB DDR2 desktop DIMMs marketed, and I never encountered a desktop machine with DDR 2 RAM sold with less than 512 MB RAM. So either one or both of the RAM modules are defective or we don't have complete information.

How is it possible to run two programs at once that require 8 megabytes and 12 megabytes of RAM?

First, if you are using a computer that uses MB, go spend $100 on a used computer and you'll have something that has at least 1GB. As for your question, the amount of ram you have installed in a computer is not the only memory a computer can use. The actual name depends on the OS, but all computers have a section of the hard drive set asside to act as RAM. On a Windows PC it's called a Page File. The advantage is that you can use more ram then your computer has. The disadvantage is that it requires your computer to read, write, and rewrite this section of the drive over and over, which can be hard on the hard drive, and cause it to fail more quickly.

Your computer has 1.85 gigahertz and 512 of RAM how much memory do you have in gigabytes?

This means the processor runs at a frequency of 1.85 gigahertz. In other words (ie.) the processor's instruction counter increments 1.85 billion times per second. If we assume that this is measured in megabytes (ie. 512 MB of RAM) then the computer has 0.5 gigabytes of memory. The memory of a computer is the amount of RAM it has. Notice that the amount memory is normally a multiple of two. A gigabyte of RAM ( 1 GB ) amounts to 1024 megabytes (1024 MB) of memory.
