Is there an advantage using only one 512 MB module rather than two 256 MB modules on a computer with a total of four memory modules?

Though you'll hardly notice it - speed is the advantage. If a computer has two memory modules, it has to switch between the two while in use. A single chip with twice the capacity is fast - because the computer doesn't have to waste time switching.

What type of memory modules are installed in the motherboard of an Atx computer?
DIMM stands for dual inline memory module
What is a advantage of using two 512 mb modules instead of a single 1 gb module in a system with three slots for memory module?
The only advantage I can think of is the situation when one of modules fails and still have another one to work with.
What is RAM module?
RAM is computer memory that can be accessed randomly and is generally used as the main memory available for programs. RAM modules are sticks of memory that can be placed into slots on a computer's motherboard.
What are some domestic uses for a memory module?
Some domestic uses for a memory module include use in a computer, or server in a office or workspace. Memory modules come in different sizes and can be applied to a variety of hardware.
How can I differentiate non-ecc from ecc memory modules?
ECC stands for Error Checking and Correction. This type of memory module is used to correct memory errors within the computer registry. ECC memory modules generally have 9 chips compared to 8 chips in a non-ECC memory module. This is the easiest way to differentiate the two.
What are three kinds of memory modules?
DIMM- DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULE RIMM - RAMBUS INLINE MEMORY MODULE SIMM SINGLE INLINE MEMORY MODULE
What is a memory module?
Memory modules are used for adding RAM to a computer motherboard. As a standard computer industry practice the motherboard manufacturers do not add RAM to motherboards but provide slots (empty sockets) to which memory modules can be added as per computer configuration needs of the end user. Semiconductor RAM which is manufactured as standard chips is assembled on printed circuit boards as memory modules of different capacities (e.g 512MB , 1GB or 2GB). Examples include SIMM, DIMM, SODIMM. These module printed circuit board size, shape and signals are standard as defined for various memory types e.g. 200pin laptop DDR2 SODIMM is a common laptop memory type these days. Since there are standard modules for all type of computers, for a specific computer type you can just buy memory module and add RAM to the computer.
What is full name of RIMM in terms of memory modules?
Ram bus Inline Memory Module
What component must be installed in every empty memory module?
Assuming you mean in every "empty memory slot/socket."ClarificationThe memory modules/chips/cards are the items installed into the computer, so an "empty memory module" makes no sense.AnswerIf a memory slot is vacant, nothing needs doing, except in some very old PC-class systems, where memory modules were installed in pairs.
When a module is executing what happens when the end of the module is reached?
When a module is called, the computer jumps to that module and executes the statement in the module's body. Then, when the end of the module is reached, the computer jumps back to the part of the program that called the module, and the program resumes execution at that point.End
Which memory module would be used to upgrade RAM on a laptop?
SODIMMs(Small Dual Inline Memory Modules)
What are the four basic modules of operating system might be required on a computer system where there is multiprogamming?
The system consists of CPU, Main Memory, I/O Module, and System Bus.
