The processor uses temporary storage, called primary storage or memory, to temporarly hold both data and instructions while it is processingthem. Pimary storage is much faster to access than permanent storage. however, when data and instructions are not being used, they must be kept in permanent storage sometimes called secondary storage, such as a hard drive, CD or floppy .

Name three types of memory modules?
RIMM, SIMM, and DIMM.
The amount of RAM that is actually on the memory modules in your computer is the memory?
That is the physical memory, there is swap memory that used harddisks and bunches of other memory types.
What are three memory modules?
RAM (Random Access Memory), SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules), DImms (Dual Inline Memory Modules), RIMMs (Rambus Inline Memory Modules).
What are some common types of DIMM memory modules used in computers?
Common types of DIMM Memory Modules used in computers are a 168 pin SDRAM Module, or a 184 pin DDR SDRAM. These boards are designed to be used in personal computers.
Is it possible to run RAM with different latencies?
Yes, as long as all the modules in a memory bank have the same latency, different memory banks can have different latencies.
Pictures of ddr2 and ddr1?
You can look for pictures of various memory types (individual chips and memory modules) by doing a google images search or on Wikipedia.
Can you put ddr2 800 in ddr2 667 slot?
Generally speaking, yes. The memory will simply be accessed at the slower speed. However, do not mix memory modules of different speeds. Also do not mix non-ECC and ECC memory modules.
How can memory sticks with different capacities be the same size?
Because the memory modules have to fit slots, the board is the same size, but the chips on the boards have different capacities.
How much does computer memory generally cost For example 5-10 gb?
There are many different types of memory modules, a more specific question is needed to supply a decent answer. Also the amount of memory in a normal home computer has a limit of between 2 and 4Gb
What are the different kinds of memory cards?
List three kinds of memory modules? DIMM (dual inline memory), RIMM (random inline memory), and SIMM (single inline memory)
The small circuit boards that holds a series of ram chips are called?
There are a number of different names. They are usually in the form of SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules), and people often call them just memory modules. Some also call them memory cards or memory sticks. They may go by other names based on the exact chips and how they are wired, such as DDR, DDR2, DDR3, and so on.They are sometimes called MultiChip Modules. When their sole function is RAM they can be called Memory Modules.Sometimes they are identified by the type of connector: SIMM, DIMM, UDIMM, SODIMM, etc.Memory Modules (memory card)
