Why operating system must be loaded first into computer's memory?

Otherwise your computer will be very, very, very slow, as it is much quicker to read and write from RAM then it is to read and write from the hard drive.


Similarities between ram and rom?

There are none as RAM allows random write access while ROM only allows read access (the very reason why it's called ROM because it stands for Read-Only Memory).


What causes thrashing?

In computer science, there is a memory leak, and all the available memory has been reserved, and part of the hard drive is used as virtual memory, and the computer is exchanging data between memory and disk as fast as it can. At this point cpu utilization is usually very low, as Hard disk read/write times are slowed down by the physical movement of a read/write head. Caused by memory leaks or insufficient memory for an application.


What advantage is there to having a CPU with on-chip cache?

The CPU cache exists because modern processors are very very fast. If they had to read from main memory every time they performed a read operation, computers would be limited by RAM speeds. By using a very fast cache, the CPU is able to perform a single read to fill in a cache line, then execute its instructions on that entire cache line very efficiently. There is a cache in between the CPU and main memory for the same reason there is main memory in between the CPU and the hard drive; the CPU is far faster than any storage device on your computer. Without these tiers of increasingly fast (and expensive) memory, we would be limited by HDD read/write speed.


Why is science expirent record important?

You need to write down all of your observations so that you don't have to rely on memory when you write your report. Memory is not very reliable.


Can video games be good for your memory?

It is very good for memory but to make it help your memory you need to play it more than a few times


What type of memory is used to store very important programs that make the computer work?

ROM (read only memory & RAM (random access memory)


Did Louis Sachar write a book called The boy who lost his face?

Yes he did and it was a very good book. You should totally read it!!! :D


Can people write but not read?

No, if they have hands then they can write as they understand the language in written form and not just oral form. If you can read a language then you can write it


Do most people read or write in Ireland?

Yes. Ireland has a very high standard of education and the vast majority of the people can read and write.


Computers have two types of memory contained on chips?

Actually, computers have many different types of memory contained in chips.First, there's the group of RAM memories, which can be divided into static and dynamic RAM chips. Their characteristic is that the chips do not retain data content over a power outage, but they are fairly cheap, and fast to read from and write to.Second, there is read-only memory (ROM), often also used in the form of write-once read-only memory (PROM, short for programmable ROM), or in the form of erasable PROM (EPROM), typically erased by intense UV light. Characteristic for all PROM memory types is that the cannot normally be written in-circuit, but retain their memory infinitely, or at least for a very long time.Third, there is the group of non-volatile but writable memories. These are used similar to read-only memories most of the time, but can be written under certain conditions. Write operations are typically much slower than read operations, and parts may only support a finite number of write cycles. Other restrictions may also exist. Representative for this group of memories is flash memory and electric-erasable PROM (EEPROM).
