What is Random access frame buffer?

A frame buffer temporarily stores an entire image frame for image or video capture applications. Here, 'buffer' implies 'temporary memory'. 'Random access' means that an interfacing microprocessor or other electronic component can read from ('access') arbitrary ('random') memory locations. Given that this is in the context of a frame buffer, that means you could read the first pixel, then the pixel on the 10th row and 9th col, then the last pixel, or any order desired. This is in contrast to 'sequential access', which only allows reading consecutive memory locations (ie read pixel1, then pixel 2, pixel3, ...). Hopefully it is clear that random access allows for more control and is necessary for image processing operations. On the other hand, sequential access gives less control, but is sufficient for transferring an image frame to memory or from camera to LCD display. To be clear, 'random' here means 'arbitrary', and is also used to describe the general-purpose random access memory (RAM) in PCs.

How can you clear all your virtual memory?

Windows handles the virtual memory and there really isn't a way to clear it. Virtual memory is stored on the hard drive. It basically uses your hard drive as more RAM. You can't clear virtual memory any more than you can clear your RAM. It is possible to set the size of the virtual memory that Windows can create. This is done (if you have XP) through the control panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory Change (other OSs will have it in roughly the same place). As you can see it isn't easy to find, because changing it can result in very bad things. If you make it too small, you system may crash when it runs out of physical RAM. Too large and you waste hard drive space. It's usually 1.5G, or smaller for older systems. Personally, I would just leave it alone. Windows only uses virtual memory as a last resort, and usually picks a reasonable size.

How do you clean out a computer memory?

There are 2 types of memory on a computer. The Random Access Memory or RAM is like the workspace you do things on.

Should you log off of your computer or do a restart?

A restarting of the computer will completely clear the random memory (RAM) whereas just logging off will mostly clear the RAM. From a performance aspect, restart is better than logoff. If you're concerned about security, both are equal.
